FC Barcelona, coming on the back of six consecutive wins in La Liga, were set to host Getafe at the Montjuic. The Blaugrana club, led by Hansi Flick, started the fixture with Casado coming in for Pedri, who was rested to manage the player's workload. As Barca boss Flick had mentioned, Getafe being one of the most physical play teams, the fixture was set to be a difficult one for the side.
FC Barcelona maintains its winning streak as they get past Getafe 1-0 at the Montjuic
The Catalan club, being fresh from the loss of Ter Stegen, had prodigy keeper Inaki Pena, for whom it was to be a much more decisive fixture. Moreover, unlike the dominating way the club has been known, Barca started steadily in the fixture. Until the first 15 minutes, the game was rather involved in Barca's half, but a collective effort from the backline kept the scoreline 0-0.
However, the Blaugrana club changed its way pretty soon; in the next few minutes, the club had significant numbers in the final third of the opposition many times, and finally, Lewandowski opened the scoring for them in the 19th minute. A brilliant run by star fullback Kounde resulted in him delivering a cross on which David Soria fumbled, making it an open opportunity for Barca number 9, who made no mistake.
Despite chances being created from both ends, the scoreline remained 1-0 till the first half. Kicking in the second half, Barca sensation Lamine Yamal changed gears as he danced past the opposition defenders several times, creating opportunities for the club. However, with a shot being saved by a brilliant effort by David Soria and one going off the crossbar, the youngster couldn't manage to provide a goal contribution for the first time this season.
In the end, although Getafe had come significantly close to an equalizer, a poor finish from Borja Mayoral shattered the visitors' dream of returning with a point from the fixture. Overall, through a combined team effort, Flick's Barca has added yet another win to their name in the 2024/25 campaign. Going forward, the club is to face Osasuna, wanting to continue on winning ways in the 8th La Liga matchday of the season.
