FC Barcelona has washed away all doubts after a great win at Real Sociedad. Substitute Ansu Fati took the Catalans in tow and gave them a 1-3 lead in a handful of minutes with 2 assists. Robert Lewandowski also opened his account in La Liga with 2 goals.
After the lackluster draw on the opening day against Rayo Vallecano, Barcelona had no choice but to win at Real Sociedad. No sinecure.
Due to the absence of the suspended Sergio Busquets, Frenkie de Jong was in the starting lineup. In recent weeks, the Dutchman was pushed (substantially) to the exit, but now had to keep the ship upright.
In any case, it started well for Barca. After about 40 seconds, Robert Lewandowski stuck his very first in the Spanish league against the ropes. The happiness was short-lived as Alexander quickly equalized Isak with a bit of luck.

Substitute Ansu Fati makes the difference
The game was pleasant to follow, but both teams seemed to keep each other in balance until Xavi made a double substitution. Raphinha and chouchou Ansu Fati came between the lines.
The latter had an immediate impact and guided Barça to victory with 2 assists in 3 minutes.
At first, the 19-year-old creative kept a great overview and offered Dembélé the 1-2 with a formidable heel. Immediately afterwards he played the ball again with his heel to Lewandowski who made his second of the evening.
In the final minutes, Barcelona kept control and did not give away any great opportunities. In the meantime, Ansu Fati recorded the 1-4 final figures. The Catalans thus wash away the disappointing 0-0 draw from the previous match day and continue in the footsteps of great rival Real Madrid.
