Match Report
Barca have all but mathematically confirmed the Spanish title this season but Real's domestic woes continued with their seventh loss of the season at the Anoeta Stadium.
Japanese winger Takefuso Kubo netted against his former club just after half-time, and things went from bad to worse for Real when right back Dani Carvajal was given a second yellow and then a red card on the hour.
Sociedad substitute Ander Barrenetxea then wrapped up the three points five minutes from the end.
The result sees Imanol Alguacil's side consolidate fourth position and the final Champions League qualification spot, while Real's rivals Atletico Madrid could overtake Carlo Ancelotti and Co into second if they beat Cadiz on Thursday.
