Barcelona’s Jordi
Alba own goal in the 2nd minute was enough to award Real Sociedad a 1-0 win
over Barcelona in a La Liga match played at Sociedad’s home ground.
With Real
Madrid suffering a 2-1 defeat away at Valencia, Barcelona had a perfect
opportunity to go top of Liga BBVA, but that loss now meant that they will be
still occupying the number two slot on the table, with just one point behind
Real Madrid.
And BBC Sports Had
this to report on that match
Coach Luis
Enrique started with Lionel Messi, Neymar and Dani Alves on the bench following
the festive break.
Messi,
Neymar and Alves only returned to training last Friday after an extended break
in South America during the league's Christmas shutdown.
Enrique
took the gamble of starting without them for a fixture that has proved tricky
for Barcelona in the past.
And they
were unable to inspire a fightback as Moyes secured a memorable second win as
Sociedad manager.
And so it
proved again with their winless run at Anoeta now extended to six games.
