FC Barcelona overcame Getafe with an offensive display by a team that refuses to give up LaLiga and that, with Raphinha, Joao Félix and De Jong, has left the azulones no options

Offensive festival of a FC Barcelona that cost of the same formula to sink to a Getafe that, when playing with the so advanced defence, left that his rival took advantage of of all the balloons in long. The Barcelona showed his more offensive version and left a goleada flawless to assault, momentánamente and waiting for what do the Girona, the second square of LaLiga EA SPORTS 2023/2024 with 57 points, five less than the Real Madrid.

For the Barça the visit of the Getafe to Montjuïc was a final by the context in which they arrived and the challenge that have proposed in this decisive stretch of the season. They want to and they need to win it all, of there that it did not surprise the changes in the alignment and the bet by more 'gunpowder' in the attack with the turn of Joao Félix and Raphinha to the XI initial after surpassing his respective injuries. The bet of Xavi Hernández was clear.

A Barça very upper but without a lot of 'luck'

The culés did not take in taking advantage of the spaces that left a Madrilenian picture that, in his plan of presionar very high and steal the balloon in rival area, finish breaking the offside in each overtaking of the culés. Precisely the two extremes were those who better understood the mission and propiciaron a sinfín of opportunities, but the 'bad' fortune also happened bill. The Barça, although it was very upper in the first 45 minutes, only could annotate a goal... And they failed, at least, two very clear occasions to direct the party.

It is very true that the Getafe always is an uncomfortable rival. The last three parties had remained 0-0, to put it in context. The Barcelona knew that 'forgive' could go out expensive, especially because in the first minutes were varied the 'warnings' of the rival. Ter Stegen blocó A finish far of Greenwood and Pau Cubarsí cleared a pair of dangerous balloons in the area, until the Barça understood which was the key to advance : Jules Koundé sent a balloon in long so that Raphinha advanced to Djené, that broke the offside, and commanded a powerful finish winning to David Soria in the one to one.

The Barça could put the 2-0 very soon

The best occasions of the Catalans arrived with the same formula. The 'azulones' left his very advanced defence ('past' the half of the field) and won them in, practically, all the duels. The second so much of the culés 'smelt', but were especially desacertados in the last pass: it Saved Soria after Joao Félix won a balloon in long and commanded a shot measured, to cause a big answer of the put. It went back it to try the Portuguese from the balcony of the area, but blocó in two times the Madrilenian.

They were not the only, because Raphinha happened of hero to give the surprise with two failures inexplicables: it Treaded the played of the first goal and his shot, with the right leg, left above the crossbar. It went back to make a mistake with a new played identical. Had everything to yield it to Joao Félix, only in the another stick, but his pass was too long and remained in at all. The Getafe saw 'light' with pair of intentonas dee Greenwood or Alderete, but without excessive worry for Ter Stegen.

Insufficient reaction of the Getafe and goleada of the Barça

The Getafe had the intention to react in the resumption and Luis Mile 'raised' to all Lluís Compannys with a far shot that touched the just Ter Stegen so that it hit in the stick and avoid the 1-1. It was a distinct team, but that failed again in defence and that saw how the Barça broke him to the back with Christensen attacking the right band and putting a lateral centre for the arrival of a Joao Félix that only it had to push the spherical to the network. And it went the beginning of the end for the ones of José Bordalás.

The Alicante technician did not correct the grave errors of his team and the culés, that wanted to more goals, did party. Lewandowski, that was quite missing, marked the third in position advanced, but in the following played 'condemned' again to the Madrilenian. In the enésimo balloon to the back of the afternoon, went back to take advantage of Raphinha for zafarse of Soria and finish yielding him the balloon to a Frenkie of Jong so that it commanded it to the deepest of the network.

The Barça advances to the Girona

Waiting for what do the Girona against the Ray, the Barça has stepped important in LaLiga and that it can be key for the final denouement of the season. The Barcelona see compulsory to litigate to the end to win the domestic title, but the first aim is to classify to the Supercopa of Spain. They remain with three points importantísimos and with two dee advantage on the gerundenses... And, more important still, with the feeling that they do not want to give by defeated so prompt.
