The La Liga fixture, Real Sociedad vs. FC Barcelona, kicks off at 20:30 (GMT+1) on Thursday, April 21, at the Anoeta Stadium.
Real Sociedad picked up a point following the weekend's goalless draw against Real Betis at home. Sociedad took as many shots as Betis, nine, and had as many shots on target as the opposition, two. The draw leaves the club with 11 points from a possible 15 after five La Liga games, WDWWD, and in 6th place, having 55 points from 15W, 10D, & 7L.
