Match preview: Barcelona vs Getafe
Barcelona are brimming with confidence after their 2-1 victory over Newcastle at St James' Park. Returning to Spain, the Catalan side will host Getafe, a match where they absolutely must secure three points. Real Madrid won their game on Saturday, extending their lead over the two teams to five points. To continue chasing their arch-rivals, Flick's side desperately need a win, and a big win would be even better.
Getafe is not an easy opponent, having often caused difficulties for Barcelona in recent seasons. However, Getafe only manages to do so when playing at home. On their trips to Catalonia, the team from the Coliseum Alfonso Perez stadium often suffers defeats. This season, coach Bordalas's team is playing very well with 3 wins and is currently ranked 5th. Getafe continues to demonstrate a tight defense and excellent ability to seize scoring opportunities.
The visiting team will undoubtedly continue to display this style of play in their match against reigning champions Barcelona. As for Flick's men, they will have to break through this solid defensive wall without the services of star player Lamine Yamal. In the match against Newcastle, the Catalan team was stymied for the entire first half by the tenacious and well-organized defense. They only managed to break through the opponent's defense in the second half thanks to two explosive moments from striker Marcus Rashford.
The English striker is expected to continue his explosive form to secure another victory for Barcelona, especially with Yamal absent. The central midfield duo of Pedri and De Jong, who broke down Newcastle's tight midfield, will continue to play a crucial role in the match against Getafe. Pedri's skillful and unpredictable play in tight spaces, along with his creative through passes, will be the perfect catalyst for Barcelona's attacking players. A sharp through pass combined with the intelligent movement of Raphinha and Rashford would be enough to dismantle Getafe's solid defense.
