2014-15 La Liga Real Sociedad VS FC Barcelona Sunday Jan 04,2015

 

It was almost as if David Moyes had borrowed some of the magic of the FA Cup on Jan 04,2015 Sunday night at Anoeta as his Real Sociedad played at being giant-killers and took the scalp of Barcelona.

On one of the greatest nights of his managerial career Moyes masterminded a 1-0 win with the side he took over in November 2014 seeing off Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar in style.

David Moyes was given a helping hand by opposing coach Luis Enrique who bizarrely left Messi out of his starting line-up – perhaps the Barca coach was also paying homage to the world’s oldest club cup competition by resting his most important players.

That strange team sheet which also included Neymar, Gerard Pique, Dani Alves and Ivan Rakitic on the bench was the first shock of the night, the second came after just one minute when a header from Jordi Alba went flying past his own keeper to give Real Sociedad the lead
