Look for a hungry Barcelona front line to feast as they endeavor to get off the mark, and Robert Lewandowski should open his La Liga account.

Aihen Munoz could come in at left-back to replace Rico. The stream is also available on LaLigaTV via Amazon Prime Video. La Real got off to a winning start last weekend as they topped promoted side Cadiz 1-0 on a debut goal from former Real Madrid winger Takefusa Kubo. 16:00 ET Recently acquired Robert Lewandowski has yet to get off the mark in the Spanish top flight, but could do so on the road this weekend. Real Sociedad vs. 21 Mon, Aug.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid got off to perfect starts to their league seasons, collecting all three points on their first outing.

Xavi has one of world football’s brightest forward line heading into the new season, and there is simply no excuse to not score. Yet, it has been clear from the day Xavi took over that he did not favour the American international. The most surprising decision this summer at Barcelona has perhaps been Xavi’s decision to exclude Sergino Dest from his plans. The other option Xavi can consider is to deploy Frenkie de Jong as the pivot. Xavi is now forced to put on his thinking hat early in the season. However, the one concern could be his lack of match fitness and stamina.

Look for a hungry Barcelona front line to feast as they endeavor to get off the mark, and Robert Lewandowski should open his La Liga account. Dest has been left out of the squad for both La Liga matches to start the season. Full-back Sergino Dest was left out of the squad for the second straight match as manager Xavi looks set to force the American out. His deflected pass to Isak was deposited into the back of the net from a tight angle. That sees Aihen Munoz in at left-back to replace the injured man. Lewandowski will have a point to prove today against La Real, else questions start to creep in whether he made the right decision leaving his former Bavarian side. There's a stoppage as Aihen Munoz flops to the turf on a flailing arm from Ousmane Dembele, but it's all a bit dramatic, and VAR takes no action. This is real trouble for Barcelona who are on the cusp of conceding more good chances. They are both vociferously relaying instructions to their players, and the game has devolved into a midfield chess match. It's a poor effort from the Spanish veteran, but it's only kept out by a glittering stop. La Real got off to a winning start last weekend as they beat promoted side Cadiz 1-0 thanks to a debut goal from former Real Madrid winger Takefusa Kubo. Despite an impressive preseason and a host of new attacking additions at their disposal, the Blaugrana were blanked at home against Rayo Vallecano in a 0-0 draw last week.

Its all square at the break after early goals from Lewandowski and Isak. Ter Stegen saves Barcelona David Silva guides a low shot towards the near pos.

Xavi was not happy with the performance against Rayo and he has made a few interesting changes. The Frenchman takes a touch before driving the ball with his left foot into the far corner. The Pole coolly slots the ball into the corner for 3-1. De Jong is caught in possession before Isak goes through on goal. Raphinha and Ansu Fati, who have just come on, make an impact. Fati again the provider, this time for Lewandowski.

In addition, Sergiño Dest could leave for Manchester United, but there has not yet been a formal offer. Homegrown players Beñat Turrientes and Robert Navarro. Trincao returned to Portugal, in a session, for 3 million. But even the Catalan team has financial problems, the refusal of players to lower their salaries, the refusal to accept a departure, as in the case of Braithwaite and Umtiti, elements that are not required by Xavi, are not part of their important elements.

Follow all the action and related insight from Anoeta in Matchday 2 of the season, with Xavi's Barça looking to get a first win on the board.

1 He feeds Dembélé and Barça create a couple of half chances before being forced to recycle it back to the French forward who fires in a very tempting cross for Lewy. As I said in the build-up, Lewy would love a match ball to take home on his special day. After a lot of too-ing and fro-ing, another streaming counter has the home crowd raising the volume. Yes, La Real have threatened, and definitely will have chances in the second half, but I expect Barça's control to grow. What a blistering start we had to the game! The players are heading out of the tunnel and we are almost ready to go again. We often focus on the attacking and creative aspects of this new Xavi team, and understandably so, but questions remain over the defence he is building. More possession in the final third from Barça but the space is very limited and hence a killer pass all the harder to find. For all the spectacular goals he's scored, he's also bagged many, many from right in front of the target. There is still the noise you'd expect from this group of supporters - and they know their heroes will never give up the cause - but Barça have the look of a team in control of proceedings. That fourth goal took out all the Basque wind from the sails and there's even a hint of a swagger about Barça.

But the insanity was just beginning as both teams turned a football match into a basketball game with non-stop, up-and-down action with constant counter attacks ...

This was just as tough as expected in the first half, but the squad depth and Xavi’s courage and excellent game management made the difference in the second. Sociedad tried to get a second goal in the dying moments but Barça stayed organized, and the final whistle came to give them all three points at Anoeta. Just two minutes later Ansu was again heavily involved in a goal as he received a pass from Pedri inside the box and played it perfectly into the path of Lewandowski, who doubled the lead with his second goal of the night.

Robert Lewandowski scored a brace as Barcelona cruised to a 4-1 victory at Real Sociedad on Sunday, their first win of the new LaLiga season.

"Today we made attacking changes, bringing on Raphinha and Ansu for Balde and Ferran [Torres]. We lacked that in the first half. We played well in spells." We spoke at the break about attacking the space better, that is what we needed to do. "We play with more patience, like in the second half, we're much better.

5’ – GOAL (ISAK) – De Jong is robbed in possession in his own half and Silva slides a good through ball to the through on goal Swedish striker. A fantastic team goal, Raphinha fires one into Fati in the middle on the edge of the box. Isak is a tad wide but his strike takes a deflection off the trying to block Garcia and loops over the keeper. 1’ – GOAL (LEWANDOWSKI) – It's the birthday boy with his first goal in a Barca shirt - Lewandowski. They simply turned on the style and the hosts could not cope with their quality as Lewandowski and Fati took control of the game to seal three points. The match got off to a flying start when Robert Lewandowski scored his first goal for the Catalan giants just 43 seconds into the game.
