did you know they have this crazy awesome food scene there? i mean, who needs soccer when you have gumbo and jambalaya? 
but seriously, barcelona's loss is no joke, gotta see how they bounce back from this. xavi's gonna have to get creative if he wants to keep his job 
1-2 is a huge deficit for Barcelona! 
They were on top at halftime, but Real Sociedad brought their A-game in the second half. 
I mean, Marcus Rashford coming off the bench and scoring the equalizer was pure magic 
! 
In La Liga this season, teams that come from behind to win have a 45% win rate 
, with 7 consecutive wins in all competitions 
.
Rashford's goal was pure magic tho 
that guy's got skills! but seriously, Xavi needs to revamp his squad, maybe bring in some fresh faces? Real Sociedad played a solid game, Odegaard's goal was brutal 
4 points behind real madrid already? that's like being stuck in the mud 
️ real sociedad on the other hand, they must be loving every minute of it 
rashford's goal was insane tho! but yeah, barcelona's defense is just not holding up 
gotta wonder what xavi's strategy was going into that match... 1-2 subs? 
they need to regroup and reassess their strategy 'cause this loss could be a turning point in the season... Xavi needs to take a hard look at himself and his team, figure out what went wrong and make some tough decisions 
maybe it's time for some fresh blood on the pitch too?
meanwhile rashford's just over here being the savior and making us think he's a soccer genius lol 
xavi needs to come up with a new gameplan ASAP or barca will be sleeping with the fishes 
... But at the same time, Marcus Rashford is basically a superstar now, so can't say I'm mad about it 
.
can't believe man utd loaned him out to barcelona... what were they thinking? 
real sociedad's move into 4th spot is sick too, i love underdog stories

Just watched that shocking game and I gotta say, Barcelona's form is looking really shaky right now! They need to figure out what's going on with their team selection and tactics 
.
. On the other hand, Real Sociedad got some great luck with that Rashford equalizer... who knew the lad had goals in him? 
they're moving up in the table and putting pressure on real madrid. it's gonna be an interesting second half of the season! 
Real Sociedad's comeback was pure magic 
. Barcelona needs to get their act together ASAP 
.
not exactly ideal for their title hopes. gotta say, though, Real Sociedad's been on fire lately 
i feel bad for xavi, he's been under so much pressure all season and now this loss is gonna make things even tougher for him 
barca needs to get their act together ASAP or they're gonna lose the title by a landslide 
it's like they were two different teams out there for a bit. barcelona's been struggling all season, but you'd think they'd have this one in the bag. now they trail real madrid by 4 points and it's getting pretty intense
