At home..Sociedad spoil Barcelona’s ‘La Liga’ victory celebrations

Coach Xavi Hernandez’s side won the title for the 27th time, four rounds from the end, after beating neighbors Espanyol 4-2 last week.

Alexander Sorloth cemented the visitors’ superiority in the 72nd minute, while Robert Lewandowski scored an honorary goal for Barcelona with a close-range header in the 90th minute, extending his lead in the competition’s top scorer list to 22 goals. .

Three games before the end, Sociedad tightened their grip on fourth place in Champions League qualifying with 65 points, five points behind fifth-placed Villarreal, who beat Girona 2-1 earlier in the day.

Barcelona are 14 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid, who face Valencia on Sunday, and Atletico Madrid are third on 69 points.
