Real Sociedad 2-2 Barcelona: 4 Talking Points as Blaugrana are held away from home | LaLiga 2019-20

1. Antoine Griezmann comes good on return to Sociedad

Real Sociedad v FC Barcelona - La Liga

Antoine Griezmann was made Barcelona's marquee signing of the summer when he completed a protracted transfer from Atletico for the sum of €120m. It has, however, not gone to plan for the French international but he is slowly getting into gear for the Blaugrana.

The 28-year-old was handed his professional debut by Real Sociedad in 2009 and he spent five years at the club before going on to achieve superstardom at Atletico. He marked his return to the club with a well-taken goal, calmly dinking the ball over Alex Remiro after being played through by Luis Suarez to give Barcelona the impetus when they looked devoid of ideas.

This was almost identical to his goal against Mallorca last week and is indicative of a man regaining his identity. Five of Griezmann's six goals have opened the scoring for Barcelona and with Real Madrid coming up, fans of the club would hope he can keep up his recent form.
