Barcelona are aiming to put their first La Liga win on the board for 2022-23 when they visit Real Sociedad on Sunday. The Catalan outfit were held to a 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano last weekend and will be keen to gather momentum as soon as possible.
Sociedad got off to a better start, beating Cadiz 1-0, but they face a much sterner task against Barca, albeit they are the home team on this occasion.
