Barcelona were already in control of the game before the red card. But that red card made things even worse for Real Sociedad. Because despite being overwhelmed by Barcelona they were still resisting them very well. But not much time after the red card Barcelona finally got ahead. And this was the only goal of the game as well.

Honestly it was still a risky score for Barcelona because Real Sociedad had many more goal attempts in the second half despite the red card. Barcelona might have had to play extra time as well if their opponent managed to find the equalizer. This would have make the players much more tired.

Sociedad are very strong now, and if not the red card, it would have been much harder for Barcelona to win. Yes, they controlled the game until the red card, but this is their strategy, they always dominate during the game. Today Real Madrid will play with Atletico, the game will also not be easy, but I expect Real Madrid to win.

Tonight will be an interesting match, the Madrid derby... The Spanish Cup quarterfinals between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid... I guess for Real Madrid this match isn't very important, because they are focused on La Liga and the Champions League, but Atletico will try to win... It's hard to guess who the winner will be, but I think it will be Atletico...

Regardless of whether this trophy is Madrid's priority or not, what is clear is that if they manage to bring home the Spanish Cup trophy, it can be the team's motivation to win the next trophy in the competition they are currently in. Carlo Ancelotti will not waste this opportunity, they will play their best in today's quarter-finals

Here's some predictions for today's Copa Del Rey Matches:

VALENCIA vs ATH BILBAO

I believe the most likely scenario for this match will be the occurrence of several goals. Valencia should be in control of the game, however, Athletic Club needs to react to the defeat against Real Madrid. I should note that the two squads have several problems in the most backward sector. Thus, a very busy match is expected, with several opportunities to score.

Both Teams Score

REAL MADRID vs ATL. MADRID

I believe the most likely scenario for this match will be for both teams to score at least one goal. Real Madrid should be in control, but Atlético de Madrid has an amazing squad and should also be able to create some situations close to the opponent's area. I should note that both teams are highly motivated for coming from several consecutive victories, where they have demonstrated a good offensive flow.

Both Teams Score

well beyond what one can say about Real Madrid, I see them as favorites in this match
however I don't know if he will win or not, because he has started to be afraid of Barcelona and maybe he will dose his strength a little, to keep it at its best

I also think Barcelona are not weak,it is that they are now in a very delicate position as they want to conserve their lead and to do so they need to be much more pragmatic than when they are in the position of the follower and runner up to the title.

Real Sociedad on the other hand is one of the good teams for this season being near the top of the standings so I did not expect Barcelona to try and win the game with many goals scored despite Real Sociedad being left to play with 10 players early in the game.So far Barcelona got what they wanted and they have the gap of 3 points to their opponents Real Madrid,so nothing of a big deal in this context for Barcelona.

Of course Barcelona is not yet safe in La Liga because Real Madrid is still a competitor who might be able to grab the top spot before this season ends. But I also don't want to underestimate Barcelona's ability, which this season has performed better than the previous season, especially in La Liga.

Xavi is really serious looking at the hope in La Liga and all other competitions including the Copa Del Rey which just reached the semi-finals. I believe Barcelona can do their best, but the competition will not be easy, especially because Real Madrid still has the chance to secure the top spot or maybe the final in the Copa Del Rey.

Barcelona is top of the points table. And more importantly, their performance is improving. Bonding between players is getting stronger. Also Xavi's match strategy is excellent. We see Barcelona dominating in almost every match due to a good match strategy. The Barcelona team managed to win quite well with Real Sociedad in the last match. And so this season Barcelona is at the forefront of the race to be La Liga champions. Barcelona team ahead of Real Madrid by 3 points.

Overall, we have to admit that Barcelona played better in that game due to having more possession of the ball, but unfortunately they couldn't create many chances and if we look closely, Dembele was the only player who could create a few chances against Real Sociedad while other players such as De Jong, Gavi and Pedri were not too able to create many opportunities so that only one goal was created and even then it happened after one of the Real Socodiedad players Brais Mendez was sent off for receiving a red card.
Speaking of the La Liga league, Barcelona must be able to maintain its best performance and must always be consistent in every subsequent match because if it makes a mistake then the Real Madrid team is ready to overtake its position at the top of the standings.

They have not just won but also keep a clean game with allowing opponents scoring and tearing up the defense tonight, one must admit that Barcelona are gradually regaining themselves from the problems and setbacks they found themselves with Koeman as coach of Barcelona.
The win last night wasn't enough but that's a good game still making preparations for the big meet up again Manchester United.
That game will be on Le of the best test for Xavi to test how good tactics he has in Europe.

Barcelona really played well at home against Real Sociedad for the Copa Del Rey. And of course, they deserved to win it.
It's just that Barcelona failed to score more than 1 goal because Sociedad's defense and goalkeeper played well even after only playing with 10 players since the end of the first half. There were some good chances, but they were only denied due to the pace of the defense and the good work of Alejandro Remiro as keeper.

Barcelona controlled the game in possession where they had more than 70% ball possession compared to Sociedad. The great thing about this match was that Dembele started to show his capacity as striker by daring to take lots of shots at goal and one of them was goal. But it came close, Marc-André ter Stegen made blunder that almost conceded just before the end of the second half, but he managed to save it with great save.

The match was pretty good, but the victory was hard-fought. Their scoring ability, however, needs to be improved. There are a lot of opportunities on goal that the players waste which can cost them in big matches. They nearly lost as well because the defense appeared to switch off at some point. Although Dembele was superb, his crosses couldn't be converted into multiple goals due to the strikers' inability to convert them. Several defensive mistakes were made, and Barça's goal-scoring needs to improve. It is not enough to score one goal in this form. Barca made it to the semifinals despite a risky game. So, congratulations.

This was a well disputed match. Unfortunately I've missed this one, but I believe some of you must have made some cash. Both teams fought to score but very few opportunities were met. All in all Barcelona was happier as it ended up having its way and winning the match without suffering any goal.

Made some profits from that match. I guess that if Barcelona was lucky enough. I meant even I were picking Barcelona but real sociedad was very strong. It can be seen from the first half. The goal was happening after real sociedad was playing only with 10 players. Sociedad was choosing to be fully defensive in the second half. 1 goal means a lot for Barcelona as it was going even further. It seems like that the quality of real sociedad has proven in the last match against Barcelona.

I think it's normal for Barcelona to be quite tired of beating Real Socieded in that match because at the moment Real Socieded is in the progress stage of its game, we can see that Real Socieded's last five matches in the standings table in La Liga looked green and there was no red and white, losing to barcelona with a 1-0 result is great in my opinion, as barcelona is the top leader in La Liga I think it's a good opportunity for Real Socieded to beat the game against barcelona in La Liga.
Even though in terms of ball possession it was dominated by Barcelona, I think Real Socieded were able to play safely in that match.
Imanol Alguacil really has to pay attention to every flaw in that match to improve if you want to beat Barcelona and stay in the top 3 of the league.

From my point of view, Barcelona has not shown anything special. although at this time, Barcelona leads the top of the La Liga standings. I agree with some of the points you said, especially their performance has increased. but from my point of view, what Barcelona is showing is not fully maximized.
Right, I agree that Barcelona is now on the real track, but it is still far from what was expected. I really understand, that Xavi still needs time to build his team to grow, become more established in terms of his game and build stronger bonds.

IMO, Xavi needs new ammunition to increase his team's strength. in particular, a backup striker who has skills that are not too different from the main striker. maybe, with the passage of time Xavi can maximize the potential of his players. but to win a trophy this season, it seems that Barcelona must work hard and make it happen.
the reason is, the rival will not let Barcelona win the trophy easily. Real Madrid will always be a competitor for Barcelona's steps and work hard to defend the championship trophy this season.

I do hope you are aware that it was a Copa del Rey Quarter final match and a la Liga match... right?

In the old days, selecting over 1.5 was a save bet for every match Barcelona play. This season, it looks like a risky bet.

But the matches that have ended with only one goal scored are actually countable if you look at the matches they have played so far this season. So I don't think it's very risky as you believe.

Over 1.5 option is a safe prediction for a match involving a club like FC Barcelona but note in a stage like the quarter-finals. Both sides involved in the at this stage will be extremely careful and as such will be very much guided against mistakes, therefore the match may result In a goalless draw or a single goal . Just like the match between athletic Madrid and Real or Valencia vs bilboa, anything can happen but I won't be expecting much goals.

The elimination from the UCL was giving Barcelona more time to restructure its team. Xavi has more time to did various experiment with its team and yeah xavi has found the best strategy that can be used for his team. It can be seen from the recent performance by Barcelona. This club is always increasing a lot. I meant we must also be aware of the fact that Barcelona is slowly going up again. It has been winning a trophy and I expect xavi wanna try to add more. The possible trophy for now is la liga trophy but real madrid didn't wanna let Barcelona to win the trophy easily.

Barcelona's goal has always been high, if they don't have a chance to win a trophy, they set another goal and strive for it. I think the biggest favorite team to win La Liga right now is Barcelona, they will do whatever it takes to win. They have a pretty busy schedule and they're going to play a lot of games. When the team takes the field with such a busy fixture, the players can get tired, but it can also become a team that gets along better with each other

Even so, there are still some conditions that are not in their favor for the start of the season.
For now they can still breathe a sigh of relief because they are at the top of La Liga and have managed to bring 1 trophy so far. At the moment the Copa del Rey is also quite profitable for them which could be very good.
But the chance to win is still wide open for other clubs, one of which is Madrid, of course.
Barcelona's condition is in high confidence but that doesn't mean they can be made with confidence because the schedule is still very long.

Today's Copa Del Rey Tip!

BARCELONA vs REAL SOCIEDAD

I believe the most likely scenario for this match will be for both teams to score at least one goal. A match controlled by Barcelona is expected, however, Real Sociedad also has good players and should be able to create some dangerous situations. That said, my guess is that risking in favor of Both teams Score in this game is a good option.

Both teams Score

So here's for the final result:

BARCELONA 1 vs REAL SOCIEDAD 0

Both teams Score

LOSS

This was a well disputed match. Unfortunately I've missed this one, but I believe some of you must have made some cash. Both teams fought to score but very few opportunities were met. All in all Barcelona was happier as it ended up having its way and winning the match without suffering any goal.

Barcelona still couldn't end the match early. Sociedad played 50 minutes with 10 players only, yet Barcelona couldn't score more than one goal. This is a weak point for a big name like Barcelona.

Real Sociedad are a very good side so far this season. Barcelona are not currently on their best form, taking possession has been their thing since the era of Pep Guardiola, I think they still have a very long way to go. let's talk about today game between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid are not really in good form, same as Atletico Madrid, both teams are really not getting it right this season, so today game is not really going to be hard game like Barcelona and Real Sociedad yesterday. I see Madrid coming out victorious today and is going to be an easy win for them. Real Madrid has won more times than Atletico Madrid has in their last meetings, so I see Real Madrid winning against Athletico Madrid today.

Barcelona is already on a positive path, getting here is getting better in Xavi's hands, it's nice to see young Barcelona players who are getting more confident. I think Barcelona can win Laliga as long as they are consistent in every game.

In the old days, selecting over 1.5 was a save bet for every match Barcelona play. This season, it looks like a risky bet.

We cannot see from one side the narrow victory that Barcelona won while competing in the Copa Del Re, because their opponent was Real Sociedad, who have played very well this season. Even in La Liga, Real Sociedad has the potential to threaten the position of Real Madrid and Barcelona in the standings. This match went in favor of Barcelona, there was no mistake. They almost took over half of the pitch and kept Real Sociedad locked down, but the opponents defended well and did their best to prevent more goals from being scored.

Barcelona's failure to score more goals does not mean they are less good in attack. Sometimes things can be more difficult than we say, all the players did very well and they tried with many tries although in the end they only managed to score 1 goal.

Barcelona are not weak, you might have to admit that even against Real Sociedad they weren't too lucky with their chances. Looking back, how well Barcelona beat Real Madrid's goal with 3 goals in the super cup final, it is a quality that is highly expected even though in fact not all matches they have been able to do it.
