Hansi Flick speaks ahead of the club's 7th La Liga matchday against Getafe

FC Barcelona has been sensational in the 2024/25 season so far. Although a shocking defeat against Monaco in the UCL opener had some speculations raised against the club, Hansi Flick's side came stronger than ever, beating Villarreal 5-1 at the Ceramica. Most importantly, the German manager completing such massive wins in the absence of several key players is just commendable.

Being on a winning streak of 6 games in the La Liga season, the Blaugrana club seems ready to face Getafe at their home stadium. Speaking on returning to home after a series of away fixtures, Flick remarked,

Considering the performances of the Catalan club so far, it seems more than obvious that they enter the fixture being the favorites. However, having faced the injury of their priority number 1 in the last matchday, Flick is bound to make changes as the prodigy keeper Inaki Pena seems to be the new man in goal for FC Barcelona.

Apart from this, several changes could be possible, keeping in perspective the workload management of key players, including Inigo Martinez and Lamine Yamal. Hansi Flick, addressing the Getafe fixture, said,

""We will have to make changes. We have practiced it, and I hope the team will execute it well tomorrow.""

Moreover, the German mastermind reflected on the possibility of resting Barca's sensational talent, Lamine Yamal. Not to forget, since the Euros began, the 17-year-old has been starting for every game, be it for the club or his national side. In fact, starting every game in the 2024/25 season, Yamal has only gotten 14 minutes of rest in the campaign so far.

However, Hansi Flick, being confident about the player's workload management, mentioned,

""Lamine doesn't look like he needs a rest. It's important to note that we're playing at home, and we have to start with a fantastic starting XI.""

Overall, FC Barcelona, being on an undefeated run in the La Liga season, defeating clubs like Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao for fun, stands as clear favorites for their upcoming fixture. With all the components in form, for the Blaugrana club, expectations would be for them to dominate the visitors at the Estadi Olimpic.
