Barcelona’s quest for the treble is still alive after the Catalan giants made no mistake in seeing off the Champions League tie against Manchester United.
The hero of the match was none other than the Argentine Wizard Lionel Messi, who took charge of the tie, scoring twice to lead his side to the semifinals. Philippe Coutinho put the cherry on the top with his trademark curler from the edge of the box and Barcelona won 3-0 at Camp Nou.
In truth, this was the least that Barcelona deserved from the tie as they were by far the best team in the 2nd leg, and deserved to go through.
With the win, the Catalan giants took another step to clinch the treble. They will be Liverpool in the semifinals, and will surely demand more from Ernesto Valverde’s men than what United could muster over the two legs.
Six rounds of matches left to play in #LaLigaSantander! ?

The other two trophies are almost guaranteed as Barcelona are just a few games away from clinching the La Liga. While they have already secured a place in the Copa del Rey final.
Real Sociedad are hovering in the middle of the table. With 10 wins, 11 draws and 11 defeats, they have accumulated 41 points from 32 matches.
However, a top-seven finish is not out of their grasp as only five points separate them from Athletic Bilbao in seventh.

BAR vs RS Dream11 FANTASY TEAM:
INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:
The reverse fixture was won by Barcelona earlier in September. Sociedad were cruising home through Aritz Elustondo’s 12th-minute goal, but a quickfire 2nd half goals from Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele in the space of just three minuted turned the game on its head.
That was Barcelona’s fourth straight win over Sociedad and we back the Camp Nou side to make it five here.
