Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 195
Real Sociedad wins: 38
Draws: 42
Barcelona wins: 115

These two teams have locked horns on 195 occasions throughout history, and it is Barcelona that lead the overall head-to-head, having recorded 115 wins to Real Sociedad's 38, while there have also been 42 draws.

Unsurprisingly, Lionel Messi is the all-time leading goalscorer in this particular fixture, having scored 18 times against Real Sociedad during his time with Barcelona.

Barcelona have scored 401 goals in their 195 games with Real Sociedad, conceding 197, while they have been dominant in this fixture of late, winning 10 of their last 12 meetings in all competitions.

The Catalan giants were victorious in both La Liga matches during the 2023-24 campaign, including a 1-0 success at Anoeta Stadium, but Real Soicedad managed to record a famous win in their last meeting in November 2024.

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.

In La Liga, Barcelona have triumphed in 89 of their previous 155 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, and Barcelona, who have been a dominant force in Spain's top flight this term, were aiming to record a fifth straight away La Liga victory over Real Sociedad when the pair locked horns on November 10, which would have been a record for the Catalan team.

However, Becker's goal decided the contest, with Barcelona incredibly not managing a single shot on target; that said, Robert Lewandowski did have a goal chalked off in the first period for the narrowest of offsides.
