Barcelona Goals Flowing Ahead Of Real Sociedad Challenge

La Liga leaders Barcelona have been in sensational goalscoring form this season and visit Real Sociedad on Sunday in La Liga high on confidence. The Catalans have netted 55 times in 16 matches across all competitions and have scored three times or more in each of their last seven outings. Basque side La Real have historically proven difficult for Barcelona to overcome in San Sebastian but Hansi Flick's side have swept aside any team to cross their path since September. Barcelona suffered their only league defeat six weeks ago at Osasuna and since then have thrashed Spanish and European champions Real Madrid 4-0, as well as beating Bayern Munich 4-1 in Europe.

"The results speak their own language and it's really good to see that," said Flick, with his team nine points clear of Madrid at the top of La Liga.

One of the key factors in Barcelona's form has been the resurgence of veteran Polish striker Robert Lewandowski under his former Bayern Munich coach Flick.

After struggling for form at times last season the 36-year-old has been nigh-on unstoppable this season.

Lewandowski reached 19 goals in 16 games for the season with a brace on Wednesday as Barcelona strolled to a 5-2 Champions League win over Red Star Belgrade.

"Since the beginning of this season we have a goal -- we have to play very attacking football... we score a lot of goals," said Lewandowski afterwards.

"The defensive line also plays very well, everything works so far almost perfectly...

"We have many games until the end of the season, no matter if it's La Liga or Champions League, we have to always look at what we can do better and what we improve too, no matter how many goals we have scored today. The next game is a new game and a new chance to win."
