Barcelona supporters flooded social media on Thursday night, paying tribute to a member of Xavi Hernandez’s squad.
Of course, the Blaugrana was back in action a short time ago.
After consecutive defeats at the hands of Eintracht Frankfurt and Cadiz, Xavi et al. made the trip to Anoeta, eyeing a comeback result against Real Sociedad.
And, when all is said and done, this is exactly what those who visited in the evening have managed…just.
A harrowing 90 minutes, in which hosts Real created too many opportunities to claim at least part of the spoils, was ultimately decided by a single goal.
The decisive moment was about to come when with just ten minutes left when Ferran Torres’ clever ball reached the post, goalkeeper Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang sent the ball into an empty net:

This came with their faction having considered completely unlike the kind that stretched again at Anoeta, to be honest, luck won out after the lawsuit.
However, one member of Xavi’s ranks was singled out for widespread post-match praise.
Player mentioned? Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Taking to social media in absolutes, Blaugrana loyalists were quick to reveal their appreciation for the latest display put on by the club’s No. has often been the target of criticism throughout the campaign thus far.
