"If we want to win La Liga, we have to beat Real Sociedad. It will be a difficult match because Real Sociedad have great players," Flick said, as quoted on Barcelona's official website.
In addition, Barcelona's other challenge is that they have to face Sociedad at their home ground, Anoeta Stadium, San Sebastian. Last season, Sociedad defeated Barcelona 0-1 in San Sebastian.
According to Flick, Sociedad has high confidence after being managed by Pellegrino Matarazzo since December 2025.
