BARCELONA, Spain -- Barcelona failed to break its soccer curse at Real Sociedad on Sunday in a 1-1 draw in the Spanish league, its seventh straight visit to Anoeta Stadium without a win.Lionel Messis equalizer could only salvage a point against a less talented but more inspired Sociedad side that left the titleholders six points behind leader Real Madrid.Sociedad dominated the match throughout, going ahead through striker Willian Jose after halftime and coming close to getting the win when Carlos Vela hit the woodwork twice in the final minutes.Luis Enriques Barcelona must now prepare for Madrids visit next weekend in a clasico match that the Catalan club must win to keep in touch with its fierce rival.Luis Enrique said that the draw was a positive result because we took a point from a match that it was practically impossible to take a point from.He said Barcelona was inferior in all areas to Sociedad.Sociedad was infinitely superior to us, with the ball, without the ball, in every facet of the match, Luis Enrique said. This is the first time we were clearly inferior to an opponent this season.Sociedad, coached by former Barcelona player and reserve team coach Eusebio Sacristan, continued its excellent start to the season. The draw ended its four-round winning streak as it remained in fifth place.No ground- not Madrids Santiago Bernabeu, not Atletico Madrids Vicente Calderon, not Sevillas Sanchez Pizjuan- bedevils Barcelona like Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian. It hasnt won here since 2007, with a record since then of five losses and two draws.Barcelona, a team that is synonymous with control of the ball and precision of pass, was unrecognizable.Sociedads pressure completely unnerved Barcelona, reducing a team of stars that was only missing the injured Andres Iniesta into a jittery, error-prone squad that couldnt stop the steady stream of chances for the hosts.You can rarely say this about Barcelona, but very little, actually nothing, went our way today, Barcelona defender Gerard Pique said. It was our attitude. We wont win the league playing like this.Sociedads David Zurutuza, Xabi Prieto, Vela and Inigo Martinez all threatened to score before the half-hour mark, and Sociedad generated eight corner kicks before Barcelona even managed its first.For all the verve Sociedad showed going forward, Barcelonas trio of Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez barely received the ball from their rattled teammates.The closest Barcelona came to mustering a shot on goal before halftime was Suarezs desperate long strike that flew wide when a loose ball fell to him.Neymar finally forced goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli into action to parry his free kick in the 50th.But that was only a prelude to Willian Joses header that Pique tried to clear from the goal line only to send it into the top of the net in the 53rd. Vela had linked up with Willian Jose to draw a save from Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, leading to Willian Joses header.Messi leveled the match six minutes later with his ninth goal of the campaign after Neymar finally broke down the left flank and squared the ball to the Argentina forward to rifle in with his left foot.But Sociedad wasnt shaken and went close several times to getting a second goal. Vela hit the bar in the 76th- with the ball ricocheting off the goal line- and struck the upright in the 83rd.We deserved more, Vela said.Barcelonas second draw in a row left it in second place, level on points with Sevilla.Catalan television reported that Neymar was in a minor car accident in Barcelona before he and the team traveled to San Sebastian. He started the match and appeared unaffected by the incident.---OSASUNA 0, ATLETICO MADRID 3Diego Simeones Atletico stopped its slide down the table with a convincing victory to return to the top four.Goals by Diego Godin, Kevin Gameiro and Yannick Carrasco came after the former pacesetter had stumbled badly with losses to Sociedad and Madrid.---OTHER ACTIONAlaves got goals from Ibai Gomez and Victor Camarasa to pull off a surprising 2-0 win at Villarreal, which fell into sixth place.Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas opened a 3-1 win that kept last-place Granada winless.Nike Air Max 97 Outlet .

Dembele sent goalkeeper Yann Sommer the wrong way to level the score in the 76th but Celtic could not use the man advantage to score the winner.Moenchengladbach had taken the lead through captain Lars Stindl in the 32nd.We had a lot of chances to score and I think we deserved better than a draw, Dembele said. Penalties are a lottery -- sometimes you miss, sometimes you score. Tonight I scored and I am happy, but as I said we deserved better from the game.The draw left Moenchengladbach at four points after four matches in Group C, while Celtic remained bottom with two points. Manchester City beat Barcelona 3-1 in the other match, but Barcelona remained top of the group with nine points. Manchester City has seven.Both Moenchengladbach and Celtic have matches against Barcelona and Manchester City remaining and are likely to fight for a slot in the Europa League by finishing third in the group.It will be difficult to finish second in the group after Manchester Citys victory, but as long as theres mathematically still a chance of a second-place finish, well keep trying, Sommer said..ddddddddddddMoenchengladbach went ahead after Scott Sinclair had hit the post with a curling shot.Maybe we should have come away with a better result. Hopefully we can now take that same kind of performance into the last two games, Sinclair said.The goal was created by Thorgan Hazard, who ran into space on the right and sent back a perfect cross for Stindl to volley home. Hazard was back after three weeks out with a knee injury.Stindl could have doubled the lead in the 53rd when he was fed a through ball by Andre Hahn. But his weak shot was smothered by Celtic goalkeeper Craig Gordon.Fabian Johnson then had a narrow miss for Moenchengladbach, which was piling up the pressure. Hazards attempt from an acute angle was tipped over by Gordon, before Hahn fired against the crossbar.On the other side, Dembele had a good effort saved by Sommer.Substitute Callum McGregors shot went wide late in the match as Celtic wasted its best chance for a winner.I thought we should have won the game, Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers said. We were the best team, but I am really proud of the players tonight. I said we needed to play with personality and the personality we showed was outstanding. We were brave on the ball, had speed on the counterattack and we had chances. An outstanding team performance. ' ' '
