Lewandowski netted on his birthday, Fati from the bench introduced victory to Barca

Traditionally, it “sparkled” in the duel between Sociedad and Barcelona at “Anoeta”.

Barcelona achieved an important, first victory in the new season with a convincing 4:1.

In the close-up were Robert Lewandowski and Ansu Fati.

The newly minted Barca striker scored two goals on his birthday.

Leva turned 34 years old, and scored his first goal in the Barcelona jersey after only 45 seconds of this match.

Balde broke through on the left side and assisted the Polish striker.

Just five minutes later, Isak equalized for the home team.

With a bit of luck, the ball first bounced to the Sociedad striker, who then got lucky when García intervened, so the ball hit him and passed Ter Stegen.

Barcelona struggled for a long time, at times it looked like a worse team, which could concede a goal at any moment and lose the match.

That almost happened in the 54th minute, when Sociedad had a goal disallowed for offside.

The key moment of the match happened in the 61st minute, when Ansu Fati, Barça’s “ten”, entered the game.

Fati assisted two and scored one goal in the remaining time.

Fati played the fifth for Dembele in the 66th minute, and the latter scored for Barcelona’s new lead.

Then just two minutes later, Fati after a double pass employed Lewandowski, who routinely opened his foot and checked the home goalkeeper.

Fati puts the dot on the i in the 79th minute, as previously Lewandowski played past him with the fifth, and Fati in the style of an experienced striker solved the situation one on one with the goalkeeper.
