Applause to Braithwaite in the narrow Barça victory

A swede, a Norwegian and a dane walked into ...

It sounds like the start of a bad joke, but it was what happened at the Camp Nou on Saturday evening.

the Guests Real Sociedad had Norwegian Martin Ødegaard and Swedish Alexander Isaac, while Martin Braithwaite for the first time since his chokskifte from Leganés started for FC Barcelona.

It was also the first time in over 25 years, that a dane was part of the Barça starting lineup.

Vestjyden had in relation to last weekend's El Clásico sent Vidal off of the bench and was part of a fronttrio with Griezmann and Messi.

Braithwaite played in the left side, and that it was a good idea to give him a chance from the start, got coach Quique Setién seen after only ten minutes of play.

Messi played Braithwaite in depth, and after a single move fired he resolutely of with venstrebenet. Remiro had just moved his legs quickly enough and prevented an early Barcelona-keeping.

With its speed challenged Braithwaite Sociedad defence, and after a quarter of an hour he got a new opportunity.

Again it was Messi the depositor, but this time it was gunpowder in the cannon, and Remiro had no problems with the Danish landsholdsangribers completion.

Real Sociedad came in with six victories in a row and a recent qualification to the Spanish cup final.

the Basques are a dangerous crew, and they managed in periods to frustrate Barça at the Camp Nou.

FC Barcelona had a hard time to create the completely open possibilities, and Messi was missing for once, the sharpness, when after a half hour of play got the chance close to the goal.

Remiro was able to save and the ensuing corner kick headede Braithwaite of objectives.

Before the purge had only Real Madrid managed to steal points from Barcelona at the Camp Nou but Real Sociedad had in the course of 1. half time got wind of a surprise and could go to the break with a 0-0 draw.

Barcelona does not play masterfully for the time being, and the discerning audience at the Camp Nou began even to pipe of their own, when Real Sociedad at the beginning of the half-time drove the ball well around.

Messi got a nedfaldsbold deep in the field after an hour's play, but are few flying Sociedad players came in the way of the little argentinian.

Five minutes later tried Rakitic from distance, but Remiro did in great style, and Sociedad-keeper also rescued Piqués header shortly after.

FC Barcelona got established good pressure, but did not put Martin Braithwaite in the scene after the break.

The 28-year-old dane was just about as invisible as Antoine Griezmann in the last 45 minutes, where the Spanish champions were chasing the redeeming scoring.

Alexander Isaac got for a nice presentation of Martin Ødegaard a golden opportunity to be the match winner a quarter of an hour before time, but tonsede the ball past the goal.

It looked like a night without a goal, but with the help of WAS got FC Barcelona ten minutes before the time penalty.

Tv pictures revealed by Le Normand had the arm on a post, and La Liga among all Lionel Messi scored probably.

It was not for the Danish scoring at the Camp Nou, but Braithwaite can rejoice over its first half, klapsalverne by the replacement of two minutes before time - and of course the three points after the narrow 1-0 victory.

The send FC Barcelona back in first place - two points ahead of Real Madrid.
