Barcelona 4-0 Real Sociedad: Hansi Flicks side returns to the top position

Barcelona reflected the top place in La Liga with a comfortable victory over 10-man-real sociedad.

Atletico Madrid had skipped her after her 1-0 victory against the Athletic Club on Saturday.

However, Hansi Flick's team easily put their one -points – advantage – and expanded their victory to six games – in the title race with gates by Gerard Martin, Marc Casado, Ronald Araujo and Robert Lewandowski.

The ninth Sociedad, who started on Thursday, March 6, in the last 16 of the Europa League against Manchester United, took the top when the two teams last scored in November and won 1-0.

However, they were always in the Estati Olímpic Lluís Companys after defender Aritz Elustondo received a just red card in the 17th minute to score a goal bound by Dani Olmo.

Barcelona used her advantage just eight minutes later, and Lamine Yamal lost his marker in the box before combining with Olmo to choose the full -back Martin to end at the back post.

Four minutes later Olmo was involved again, with his strike distracted from the edge of the box in Casado. It was their first goals in Barcelona for both Martin and Casado.

The hosts didn't have to wait long for a third goal. Barely 60 seconds after Pedri had worked out the woodwork with long -term efforts, Araujo drove a wall -related corner from Raphinha.

The Poland striker Lewandowski sealed the Rout an hour and stretched out a foot to lead Araujo's shot over a helpless Alex Remiro in the visit.
