Barcelona Shines in 3-0 Win Over Getafe in La Liga Showdown

FC Barcelona put on a stellar performance, defeating Getafe 3-0 at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez on Sunday evening, keeping their unbeaten streak alive with three wins across all competitions.

Under Hansi Flick’s guidance, the team’s sharp attacking play and smart tactics overwhelmed Getafe, securing Barcelona’s spot as La Liga’s second-placed team.

From the opening whistle, Barcelona took charge, moving the ball with precision and outmaneuvering Getafe’s compact 5-3-2 setup.

The breakthrough came in the 15th minute when Raphinha slipped a clever pass to Dani Olmo, who set up Ferran Torres with a slick backheel for an easy finish.

Torres struck again in the 34th minute, capitalizing on another Raphinha assist during a quick counter-attack, firing a low shot from just outside the box into the corner.

Getafe tried to disrupt Barcelona with physical play, targeting players like Jules Koundé and Raphinha, but couldn’t create any real chances. Robert Lewandowski nearly added to the score, hitting the post and forcing a great save, while Torres struck the crossbar in pursuit of a hat-trick before halftime. Barcelona controlled 60% of possession and fired off nine shots in the first half alone.

At halftime, Getafe made three substitutions to spark a comeback, pushing for a more open game. They showed some fight early in the second half, but Barcelona stayed composed. Marcus Rashford, subbed on for Raphinha at the break, brought energy to the left wing. In the 62nd minute, he delivered a perfect cross for Olmo to tap in, sealing the 3-0 scoreline.

Flick rotated his squad smartly, resting Frenkie de Jong for Marc Casadó in the 60th minute, Pedri for Roony Bardghji in the 76th, and Ronald Araujo for Héctor Fort in the 84th. Getafe’s changes, including swapping Borja Mayoral for Érick Kamara, made little impact. The Barcelona locker room was buzzing with “Well done, boys!” after the match. Torres, named man of the match for his two goals and relentless effort, stole the show, while Olmo’s goal and assist proved his growing importance. Raphinha’s playmaking and Rashford’s spark off the bench highlighted Barcelona’s depth.
