The Laliga table shows Barcelona in second place with 5 points behind the leader for at least the next 24 hours.
The Blaugrana dominated almost the entire game at home and easily dispatched Getafe, who could not keep up with a Barca side that didn’t fall for their dirty tactics and forced them to actually try and play football for a change.
The opening period saw the catalans with a lot of joy passing long balls behind Getafe’s high line, when the away team tried to press and there were several occasions were Raphinha and Joao Felix found themselves in excellent positions in the final third. One of them resulted in a goal, a perfect long pass from Jules kounde released Raphinha on the right wing, and the Brazilian had plenty of time and space to run into the box and pick out the bottom corner to put the home team in front.
The final whistle came to end a great afternoon for Barca, who dominated from start to finish and didn’t allow Getafe to get in their heads. The victory was deserved, the performance by the whole team was strong, and Getafe’s dirty tactics didn’t work this time
