Barcelona coach Ernesto Valverde says their focus is on Real Sociedad tonight.

Valverde says next week's El Clasico against Real Madrid will be considered once the game is over.

"Over the years, it has been one of the most difficult places to visit," Valverde stated.

"The last two seasons we have won, but it was on the back of a bad streak.

"If we add to this how La Real are doing, playing good football with great players, and using the last clash here at the Camp Nou as a reference, will be a tough game.

"They are a team that clearly have a plan, always trying to win the ball back.

"[Mikel] Merino and [Martin] Odegaard connect quickly with the attack and have a lot of spark."
