Make we no lie — Real Sociedad enter this match as clear underdogs, even though dem dey unbeaten for five games before now.
Oyarzabal first La Liga goal since early November give dem something to fight with, and the way dem respond immediately after conceding equaliser show serious character.
Even though La Real still dey eight points away from European places and dem lose Takefusa Kubo to injury, this win fit change the mood for the rest of their season.
For Barcelona side, this loss go pain well well. Dem don win 11 straight matches before kickoff and this game suppose put dem four points clear of Real Madrid.
