Barcelona vs Getafe has, in recent times, proven to be a frustrating fixture for pretty much every party involved but the Madrid outfit. With a total of four goals in the last five games, including three 0-0 draws, most would have expected another dry game today.
However, a different Getafe turned up, who kept a high-line. Barcelona took some time to grow into the game, but once comfortable, it was all one-way traffic.
Raphinha opened the scoring, before a second-half masterclass from the Brazilian and Frenkie de Jong meant another three goals before full-time.
Joao Felix, de Jong himself, and Fermin Lopez were all on target as Barcelona ran away victors 4-0.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen: 7.5
Ter Stegen’s passing was uncharacteristicaly sketchy today, but he came through with some superb saves that eventually helped with the clean sheet.
Jules Kounde: 8
Back-to-back impressive performances from Kounde, who was everywhere on the right flank. Did not give Greenwood an inch of space, and cleared all signs of danger in his radius.
Pau Cubarsi: 9
An absolute defensive clinic from 17-year-old Cubarsi, who was on the end of every move Getafe tried to create, intercepting, blocking, and clearing every cross and pass. Was also flawless in possession, starting attacks out of nothing.
Ronald Araujo: 7.5
Was a bit careless a time or two, but otherwise also rock solid defensively, especially playing as the left centre-back. Looked comfortable on the ball, too, and pocketed Borja Mayoral for 90 minutes.
Joao Cancelo: 7
Started the game well, making some great suns behind the Getafe defence, but his offensive impacted sort of faded out eventually. Has to be credited with his work in possession when deep, though, joining the midfield and controlling the game.
Ilkay Gundogan: 8
Gundogan had a slow start to the game, but it is impossible to keep him out of any Barcelona proceedings. Occupied every pocket of space flawlessly and found a pass out of nothing.
