Luis Enrique’s side were not at their best at Anoeta and had Lionel Messi to thank for an equalising goal that at least allowed them to avoid defeat on Sunday evening
Real Sociedad further dented Barcelona’s title hopes by holding them to a deserved 1-1 draw at Anoeta on Sunday evening, leaving Real Madrid six points ahead of their rivals.
Willian Jose gave the hosts the lead after half-time by converting a rebound after Marc-Andre ter Stegen had denied Carlos Vela.
Sociedad’s performance fully merited the advantage but Lionel Messi came to Barca’s rescue six minutes later to ensure they avoided defeat.
