Just 44 seconds into the game, Robert Lewandowski scored the game's first goal as the birthday boy attempted to lead that rebound

But generally speaking, it appeared odd for the first 45 minutes

Real Sociedad took advantage of Barcelona's inconsistent play to tie the game via Alexander Isak

However, Real Sociedad missed a goal after the break, and the lengthy Barcelona bench turned the tide of the game in Xavi's favour

The Barcelona manager brought in Ansu Fati from the bench, and the wide man made all the difference with two rapid assists
