FC Barcelona was held in check on the lawn of Getafe, this Sunday, during the first day of La Liga (0-0). At the end of a rough match, marked by an exclusion on each side, the Catalans failed to find the opening in the suburbs of Madrid.
Uninspired and quickly reduced to ten, FC Barcelona, defending champion, was held in check on the lawn of Getafe, this Sunday near Madrid, for its first match of the season in La Liga (0-0).
Without Ousmane Dembélé, transferred to PSG (50 million euros), but with his recruits Ilkay Gundogan and Oriol Romeu at kick-off, Barça could not do better than a draw against an aggressive and disciplined Getafe team. .
He excludes Raphinha and Mata
The Blaugrana evolved in numerical inferiority from the 43rd minute, after the expulsion of the Brazilian winger Raphinha, who received a second yellow for an elbow on the side Gaston Alvarez. Xavi’s players, also excluded for protest, then played the second period 10 against 10, after the red awarded to Jaime Mata (57th), without managing to open the scoring, despite some hot situations.
After this hitch, Barça finds itself provisionally tenth in the standings, 2 points behind Real Madrid, second, who won the day before in the lair of Athletic Bilbao (0-2). The Catalans will try to catch up with the reception of Cadiz, next Sunday at Camp Nou, during the second day (7:30 p.m.).
