The Barcelona bench for tonight's game with Real Sociedad is pretty spectacular

David Moyes was probably a relieved man before kick-off.

WITH REAL MADRID having lost to Valencia earlier today, Barcelona could go top with a win against David Moyes’ Real Sociedad tonight.

But, Luis Enrique decided to rest some of his biggest players, allowing some fringe players an opportunity to impress.

All that meant that the Catalan’s bench was jam-packed with talent:

Lionel Messi, Neymar, Gerard Pique, Dani Alves, Ivan Rakitic, Rafinha and Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

Not a bad group to have in reserve.

One of strongest subs bench ever for an important La Liga game I reckons: Ter Stegen, Pique, Rakitic, Messi, Neymar, Rafinha, Dani Alves.
