Barcelona reclaimed the top spot in LaLiga with a dominant 4-0 win over Real Sociedad at the Estadio Olímpic Lluís Companys. This victory capped off a recovery after a tough November that saw them drop from the top position. Real Sociedad started well, but a goal ruled out for offside and an early red card for Olustondo made things difficult.

With a player down, Barcelona took full advantage, controlling the game and scoring two goals from debutants like Gerard Martín and Marc Casadó.

In the second half, Barcelona continued to extend their lead. Pedri hit the crossbar before Araujo and Lewandowski sealed the win with two more goals. With the 4-0 lead, Barcelona slowed the pace, but Real Sociedad couldn’t find a way to threaten. Despite missed opportunities from Lewandowski and Ferran Torres, Barcelona secured a comfortable victory that put them back at the top of the table.

This win strengthens the belief that Barcelona is now a more mature team, ready to compete for everything. The defeat of Real Madrid to Betis also helped Barcelona reclaim the top spot, further solidifying their strong form.
