Lewandowski, a Polish striker who recently joined the team from Bayern Munich,
scored the game’s first goal in the opening minute. Alexander Isak equalised five minutes later after latching onto a pass from David Silva.
In a 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad,
ROBERT LEWANDOWSKI opened the scoring for Barcelona with a brace, and Ansu Fati shone as a replacement.
Lewandowski of Poland,
who just turned 34, gave Barcelona the lead after 50 seconds before La Real’s Alexander Isak tied the score in San Sebastian.
But Fati came off the bench to set up goals for Lewandowski and Ousmane Dembele before adding his own.
Following a dismal goalless draw at home against Rayo Vallecano on the first weekend,
Barca scored their first victory of the year.
After a summer shopping spree that saw the Camp Nou acquire Lewandowski,
Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, and Franck Kessie,
coach Xavi had urged “patience” from fans.
All four of those players made their debuts against Rayo,
although France’s Jules Kounde is still waiting for the club to register him following his transfer from Sevilla as they try to solve their financial issues.
Following a disheartening 0-0 home tie with Rayo Vallecano on the first weekend of the season,
Barca scored their first victory of the campaign.
After a summer shopping spree that saw Lewandowski,
Raphinha, Andreas Christensen, and Franck Kessie all move to the Camp Nou,

but the club has yet to register France defender Jules Kounde after he transferred from Sevilla as they work to solve their financial issues.
After being held by Rayo Vallecano in a painful draw the previous weekend,
Barcelona’s 4-1 away success over Real Sociedad was the result of Robert Lewandowski’s first two La Liga goals and the opportune substitution of Ansu Fati.
At Anoeta,
the game got off to an exciting start when Robert Lewandowski scored inside the first minute and Alexander Isak quickly responded to equalise.
Alejandro Balde’s lung-busting run from deep down the left flank led to Lewandowski’s first La Liga goal,
a simple first-time finish from just outside the six-yard box that was timestamped at 44 seconds.

When Isak levelled the playing field,
Frenkie de Jong was guilty of being caught in possession. The young Swede received a through ball in the right channel, and with Eric Garcia pressing him,
he barely managed to lift it over the approaching Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
A goal from Ferran Torres from a decent position on the outskirts of the box would have given Barça the lead again as the game had a decidedly end-to-end feel to it. Then,
though, Mikel Merino’s shot was blocked by Ter Stegen,
and Takefusa Kubo’s attempt from the rebound was unsuccessful.
