Real Sociedad had not beaten Barcelona on home soil since April 2016 entering the contest, but Sheraldo Becker scored the only goal of the match to secure a 1-0 victory for the Basque outfit in the La Liga affair.
Barcelona gained revenge in the reverse fixture in March 2025, though, running out 4-0 winners at their temporary home.
In La Liga, Barcelona have triumphed in 90 of their previous 156 matches, suffering 34 defeats in the process, while the points have been shared on 32 occasions.
There has not actually been a draw in the league between these two sides since December 2019, with each of their last 11 contests in Spain's top flight producing a winner.
