The 2022-23 Copa del Rey Quarter-Finals match between Barcelona and Real Sociedad was played on Wednesday at Camp Nou, and Xavi Hernandes’ playersemerged victorious, winning by a score of 1-0. Even though the Blaugranaplayed well at times, they were unable to seal the deal, and Sociedad showed how resilient they are by remaining competitive despite playing the whole second half with 10men.

Despite Ousmane Dembele being the hero of the game, it is whoPedri has scored and assisted on goals in recent games, elevating their play withoutRobert Lewandowski, who is still serving his three-match ban in the Spanish league. With last weekend’s 1-0 victory against Getafe, thanks to the talented midfielder’s first-half goal, Barca widened the gap between themselves and Real Madrid atop the La Liga rankings.

In the 34th minute, Pedri scored the game’s first goal by tapping in a feed from Raphinha. Barcelona controlled the ball for over 70 percentof the game but only managed four attempts on target, failing to generate many good chances to expand their advantage.
