Barcelona vs. Real Sociedad Live Stream Free Online: La Liga Table 2015, Projected Lineups and Tactical Preview

Two clubs in opposite halves of La Liga table will do battle today in a match between Barcelona and Real Sociedad. The first-division clash scheduled for 12 p.m. ET can be live streamed here free. Additional TV coverage can be found on beIN Sports.

The Stage

Fresh off an undressing of Bayern Munich in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, Lionel Messi and company return to the pitch in hopes of solidifying their league title. Though Real Sociedad have improved in recent weeks, Barcelona have the added advantage of boasting not only a loaded roster, but the most in-form player in the world.

"We have Messi, so it is an advantage for us," said midfielder Javier Mascherano (via Inside Spanish Football). "Messi is a player who is impossible to describe. You just have to watch him."

"We have to keep the mentality and go in with the same mentality that we went in with today [against Bayern Munich] and try to do our jobs."

The In-Form Player

You don't take the life from a defender and expect not to be the in-form player in a match. Lost in Messi's brilliant tally of 40 goals and 18 assists is an absurd average of 5.2 take-ons in domestic and European competition.

Projected Lineups

Barcelona (4-3-3): Bravo; Alba, Mascherano, Pique, Alves; Rafinha, Busquets, Rakitic; Pedro, Suarez, Messi

Real Sociedad (4-2-3-1):Rulli; Bella, Elustondo, Martinez, Martinez; Bergara, Pardo; Castro, Grandero, Prieto; Vela
