Barcelona's purple patch suffered a bit of stutter when they lost their second of the La Liga 2024-25 against Real Sociedad away from home on Sunday, November 10. Barcelona didn't have a great game offensively as they registered zero shot on target throughout the game. Star forward Lamine Yama's absence also helped them either. Controversy broke out when forward Robert Lewandowski scored a goal but VAR ruled the goal out calling it offside. Later, the replays showed that Lewandowski's feet needed to be abnormally long for him to be offside and it might be a wrong decision from the officials. Fans also noticed it and shared memes on social media on the entire VAR controversy.

Even Lewandowski's Barcelona teammate Raphinha shared a meme too making his displeasure about the entire incident clear. Barcelona coach Hansi Flick handled the entire incident calmly but pointed out that the referee was wrong about the decision. It did cost Barcelona some crucial points and they will be disappointed that they couldn't extend their lead over Real Madrid in the La Liga 2024-25 points table. After thirteen matches played in the league so far, Barcelona are top of the points table with 33 points. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are second as they have played 12 matches and are six points behind Barcelona.
