LA LIGA : Real Sociedad 1 - 0 Barcelona

Moyes 1 Messi 0: Former United boss masterminds shock win over Barcelona as Sociedad celebrate La Liga upset after Alba own goal

Luis Suarez was the only member of Barcelona's star attacking trio to start the game, and his chances were limited until Lionel Messi and Neymar were introduced in the second half.
