Real Sociedad in a highly anticipated La Liga match. The home team did not disappoint their fans, putting on a dominant display of skill and teamwork.
Barcelona took an early lead with a goal from Lionel Messi in the 12th minute, sending the crowd into a frenzy. The superstar forward continued to dazzle with his footwork and precision passing throughout the match.
Man City, aiming to win the league for a fourth year in a row, come into the match second in the table just one point behind Arsenal. This match is their game in hand and should they triumph they will take a two-point lead into the final weekend of the season. A draw tonight would mean City need to make up a three-goal difference and match Arsenal’s result on Sunday while a defeat would leave the Gunners in control of the title race.

And the German made his impact immediately felt with a series of quite outstanding saves - including one stunning block to deny Son Heung-Min - to keep the hosts out.
City are now unbeaten in 22 league games and have again showed they are the masters of pacing a title chase.

City were stuck in second gear and their best chance before the interval was courtesy of a horrible clearance by Spurs midfielder Pierre-Emile Højbjerg that fell for Phil Foden, but his volley was superbly saved by Guglielmo Vicario.
Guardiola, watching on, had his head in his hands before falling to the ground in relief.
Shortly after, Doku lured Porro into a lunge in the Spurs box and referee Chris Kavanagh pointed to the spot.
Haaland put the game beyond doubt by blasting his shot into the top corner for his second of the match and 38th of the season.
City’s win also meant Aston Villa secured fourth place and qualification for next season’s Champions League ahead of Tottenham in fifth.
