By Euan Burns
Barcelona have ground to make up if they are to win La Liga again this season after their defeat to Real Madrid last weekend but face a tough task on Saturday night with a trip to Real Sociedad.
There's a five-point gap between Barca and Real Sociedad but the two sides are fourth and fifth respectively, so this is a big game for the home side and their hopes of Champions League qualification.
Xavi Hernandez's side will still believe they have what it takes to beat Madrid to the title again this season despite Jude Bellingham's late winner in Catalonia. Girona and Atletico Madrid are on the scene though, so Barca will not want to lose any ground on those above them.
