Barcelona defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 on Sunday, which was a result that allowed them to return to the top of La Liga. Here’s how their players fared at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys.

Player ratings

Wojciech Szczesny – 6

On his first appearance of the season, could do little about La Real’s goal.

Jules Kounde – 7

Got the equalising goal, but aside from that, not his best performance in a Barcelona shirt.

Ronald Araujo – 6.5

Looked shaky at times, but on the whole, good enough.

Andreas Christensen – 7

Accomplished performance from the Dane.

Gerard Martin – 6.5

Sloppy to not step up for La Real’s goal. Aside from that, solid.

Frenkie de Jong – 7

Another good performance from de Jong, who is in the best form of his Barcelona career without a doubt.

Pedri – 7.5

Continues to perform at a very high level, helped Barcelona control the middle of the park alongside de Jong.

Roony Bardghji – 6.5

Looked good in flashes, but very much still finding his feet at Barcelona.

Dro Fernandez – 6

Did some good things on his debut, but frustratingly for him, he was forced to defend more than he would have liked.

Marcus Rashford – 7.5

Continues to get better and better in a Barcelona shirt. Set up Kounde’s equaliser, and always looked like the most dangerous player to La Real.

Robert Lewandowski – 7

Got his goal, and really should have had another. Still, scoring in back-to-back matches will give him plenty of confidence.

Substitutes

Dani Olmo – 6.5

Rested ahead of the Paris Saint-Germain match on Wednesday, but looked good when he came on. Almost had an excellent assist, but Lamine Yamal was offside.

Lamine Yamal – 7.5

Excellent cameo on his return to the side. Set up Lewandowski’s goal a minute after coming on, and always looked dangerous.

Eric Garcia – 6

Solid enough during his cameo.

Ferran Torres – 6

Lively, although not much came off for him.
