Barcelona travel to Anoeta at a key moment in the season, Just four points behind La Liga leaders Atletico Madrid and two ahead of Real Madrid, the title race is tighter than ever. Both Madrid sides play before Barça's side this weekend, so the pressure will be on when the Blaugrana take on Real Sociedad on Sunday at 9pm CET.
Barça trained on Saturday to prepare for the game. The mood around the club is good following the start to 2021 and the election of a new president and it will be further boosted with another vital three points before the looming international break.
