Lionel Messi scored twice as below-par Barcelona laboured to a win over Real Sociedad to keep their La Liga title hopes alive.
The champions are three points below Real Madrid, who have a game in hand, going into El Clasico next weekend.
Messi fired Barca into the lead from 25 yards and scuffed home a second, his 498th goal for the club, before Samuel Umtiti’s own goal gave La Real hope.
