The fans of the FC Barcelona at last could enjoy of a calm day in Montjuïc the Saturday in front of the Getafe (4-0). Although the group 'azulón' upset to the saga culé in the initial stretch with an unusually offensive approach, at the end the overtaking of lines was suicidal by part of the ones of José Bordalás, conceding spaces that the Barça took advantage of to impose with authority.
In this sense, one of the players that more enjoyed of the victory was Marc-André ter Stegen. For the first time from his return, the German lived an afternoon without too many sobresaltos in which it could keep his fence invicta, something that did not achieve from the past 4 November in front of the Real Sociedad (0-1), a pair of weeks before his lumbar injury. For the one of Mönchengladbach was his ninth goal to zero of the season and the seventh in what it goes of LaLiga.
Ter Stegen Also was key in the goleada in front of the Getafe

The first of them was in the minute 5, when Mason Greenwood demanded him with a finish far that forced to the '1' to stop the balloon in two times. The second arrived just to the beginning of the second part, diverting another shot from out of the area of Luis Mile that finish hitting in the stick.
Any one of these actions, to having finished in goal, could have complicated a lot to a Barça that, during all the season, has suffered the impact of played similar in duels that dominated with clarity. Andl captain closed the party with 4 stops and 5 recoveries, although it was not so fine with the balloon in the feet. In total completed 45 of 54 passes (83 %) and 9 of 18 long passes.
