Spain are already preparing for the first degree that will be won in the 2020/21 season. At this time (Wednesday, live sports broadcast 4) The “Super Cup” opens in Córdoba, with a meeting between Barcelona and Real Sociedad in the first semi-final.
As far as Barça, the runner-up in Spain and the champion of factory wins, tonight’s competition came to her when she was in great shape. Ronald Koeman’s side have not lost in their last eight games and in the last they also defeated Granada 0: 4, in a game in which Leo Messi and Antoine Griezmann scored doubles and were seen at their peak this season. Tonight, the Argentine captain is out of the squad following pain he felt in his back right muscle. Griezmann had to take on even more, and he opened alongside Osman Dembele and Martin Breithwait. Sergio Busquets, Frankie de Jong and Federy hold the Catalans’ midfield, Ronald Araujo and Oscar Mingsa on defense.
On the other hand, Sociedad is in a completely different momentum. Imanol Alguasil’s team led the Spanish league at the start of the season, but experienced a big fall and recorded just one win in its last 12 games in all competitions. The Basque team only participated once in the Super Cup, somewhere in 1982, but then it also ended in the trophy lifting. Tonight she has to make do without the injured David Silva and hope for the good ability of the Swedish Alexander Isaac, who started in the squad together with Mikel Oyersable and Porto.

The game got underway. Sociedad arrived ready for the game and put high pressure on Barcelona. Already in the third minute, Oyersabel picked up a wonderful, Isaac ran to Arauho and rose to a jab, but was unable to get on with the body and the ball went out. In the sixth minute Monreal tripped De Jong, Dembele picks up a free kick that does not find the address. In the 11th minute, another dangerous situation for Sociedad. Porto gets a ball on the edge of the box, shakes off Langala and sends a flat kick and slams into the left corner, but misses the crossbar by a few inches. A quarter of an hour of football behind us, Barcelona controls the ball more, but the Basques get into more situations.
Sociedad is the best team right now on the grass. Monreal gets a great heel ball on the right wing and starts running. He raises a difficult level for Isaac who barely gets to the ball and returns it to the Barcelona defense. In the 16th minute, Barça’s first situation. Dembele breaks great from the right wing, passes between two players and sends a kick but is stopped by the defense. From the other side, Barcelona’s defense is punctured, Isaac breaks the defense great but meets Ter Stegen who hides his goal and pushes the ball.

Busquets passes to Langela almost 30 meters from the goal, the Frenchman sends a powerful kick to the right corner but misses the crossbar. In the 25th minute, Braithwaite gets a ball on the left wing and sends a powerful kick from the air to the right corner, but the angle is too hard and Ramiro is pushed back lightly. Another good attack by Barcelona in the 28th minute. Frankie de Jong bursts from the wing and picks up a ball to Braithwaite who slams hard into the far corner but misses the goal.
Approaching the end of the half. Barcelona took control of the game completely in the last minutes but did not get into situations. In the 39th minute, the goal came.
