Match Preview | |
Barcelona vs Real Sociedad Preview. Barca will face Sociedad in the opening match of La Liga 2021/22 which will take place at Camp Nou, Monday (16/08/2021) at 11:30 p.m. Indian time,
Barca has started a new era this season. The Catalan club is no longer reinforced by the megastar and club icon, namely Lionel Messi, who moved to Paris Saint-Germain.
Losing the figure of Messi will of course be very influential for Barca's strength this season. Luckily, Barca have got new names this season such as Eric Garcia, Emerson Royal, Sergio Aguero, to Memphis Depay. Unfortunately, specifically for Aguero, he has not been able to play because of an injury and is declared to be out for approximately 10 weeks.
Ahead of this match itself, Barca have prepared themselves well. Last Monday, Barca won the Joan Gamper Trofeo title after beating Juventus with a convincing 3-0 score through goals from Depay, Martin Braithwaite, and Riqui Puig.
Thanks to this victory, Barca recorded only 1 defeat in their 5 pre-season games this year. Meanwhile, the other 4 matches always ended in wins.
On the other hand, Sociedad are in a bad shape ahead of this match. Last weekend, Sociedad lost 1-3 to Osasuna in the test match. The defeat was their 2nd defeat in 5 pre-season games this year. Meanwhile, they won the other 3 matches.
