Barcelona took a lead again in the game after Jordi Alba beat Real Sociedad’s goalkeeper with a stunning shot from inside the penalty area.

Alba found the bottom corner as the Catalan giants took the lead.

Barcelona are currently six points ahead of Atletico Madrid and a win would further strengthen their position in the league. It is unlikely that the Catalans would fail to defend their La Liga title.

Barcelona are high on spirits after the side registered a 4-0 aggregate victory over Manchester United in the Champions League quarterfinals earlier this week.

The side faces Liverpool in the semifinal of the competition. Ernesto Valverde would aim to secure the Champions League title, as Barcelona are one of the top contenders alongside their semifinal opponents for the trophy.

The second semifinal will be played between Tottenham and Ajax.
