Barca's Preseason Schedule Continues With a Disappointing Defeat to San Sebastian
Barca's Preseason Continues With a Defeat
In their second preseason friendly, FC Barcelona suffered a 1-0 defeat to Real Sociedad at the Reale Arena in San Sebastian on Saturday. Imanol Alguacil's side dominated the match and deservedly took the lead in the 66th minute through Alexander Sorloth's header.
Lackluster Performance From Barca
Barca, under new manager Xavi Hernandez, struggled to create chances and looked disjointed in attack. Memphis Depay and Ansu Fati started upfront but failed to make an impact, while new signing Robert Lewandowski was not involved in the match.
The Blaugrana's defense also looked vulnerable, with Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia struggling to contain Sorloth and Alexander Isak. Barca's lack of cohesion and fitness were evident throughout the match, as they failed to match the intensity and pressing of Real Sociedad.
