Barcelona withstood an onslaught from Real Sociedad to escape Anoeta with a 1-1 draw Sunday, and while the Blaugrana fell further adrift of Real Madrid with the result, both manager Luis Enrique and defender Gerard Pique were pleased with the point considering the dire performance.

Barca, without a win at Anoeta since 2007, managed a mere two shots on target, while the home side fired six - and had two more strike the woodwork.

Lionel Messi's 59th-minute strike ensured the spoils were shared, and after the match Pique admitted he was content to head back home with anything at all.

"It's not often I can say this but we have to be happy with a draw," the Spanish centre-back said.

Enrique echoed those sentiments:

"Real Sociedad were far better than us. It was a miracle to get to halftime 0-0," he said.
