Without the injured Leo Messi, Barcelona will meet Real Sociedad in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final tonight in Córdoba. The winner will face Real Madrid or Athletic Bilbao who meet on Thursday. The final itself will be held this coming Sunday.
Aside from Messi, Barça still lacks Gerard Pique, Enso Patti, Filippa Coutinho and Sergi Roberto, but comes in in good shape that includes three consecutive wins in the league.
On the other hand, Sociedad who started the season excellently returned to their natural size recently when they won a single game in their last 12 in all factories. The Basques themselves have not beaten Barcelona in the last 11 games between the teams.
the progress of the game
Sociedad opened better. Porto reached an excellent position in the box and kicked near the crossbar (12). La Norman hit the corner kick a minute later, but Ter Stegen caught on. Another wonderful situation for the Basques. Isaac was sent to the field and tried to bounce over Ter Stegen, but the German goalkeeper saved (17). Barcelona’s first half threat. Angela tried from a great distance, but his kick went past the crossbar (23).
0: 1 to Barcelona! Griezmann picked up a wonderful ball from the left, De Jong jumped high and slammed into the 39th minute.

Sociedad balances to 1: 1! De Jong is involved again, this time for the worse. The Dutch midfielder touched the ball with his hand in the box and the Basques got a penalty. Oyersbal did not get confused and scored (51). A very nice attempt by Griezmann, who tried to score in the volley but was not accurate enough (60).
Dembele also came close to scoring when he kicked from 16 yards out, but the ball slipped near the post (62). A wonderful move by Federy, who penetrated the field and sent a kick back but the ball was pushed to the corner (77).
Sociedad: Alex Ramiro, Andoni Gorodsabel, Igor Zobaldia, Robin Le Norman, Nacho Monreal, John Goridi, Andre Guevara, Mikel Marino, Porto, Alexander Isaac, Mikel Oyersbal.
Barcelona: Mark Ana Ter Stegen, Oscar Mingsa, Ronald Araujo, Calmon Langela, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets, Frankie de Jong, Antoine Griezmann, Federy, Osman Dembele, Martin Breitweit (Trinkau 78).
