Right now, you could say that FC Barcelona “likes to move it move it,” cuz they’re going “Real to Real.” Of course, the mid-1990s dance music act that came up with that song spells it “Reel to Real,” so maybe that reference is a bit forced. However, Barcelona just beat Real Oviedo yesterday, 3-1, and now it’s already time to preview the visit from Real Sociedad, which is the next match, coming up already on Sunday. Barca are more than a bit banged up right now, so the last thing they need right now, is fixture overload.
