It is not that the Getafe stadium is hostile land for Barça, it is hell. There are already four consecutive games without winning there. Three consecutive 0-0 draws and one defeat for the minimum in 2020-21 they represent a really negative streak for the Catalans. But the story does not stop there. Including discounts, they are seven hours and 18 minutes of play without seeing a goal. A worrying figure for Catalans. The last culé that he managed to score at the Coliseum was Junior Firpo in October 2020.
Although Xavi could bet on his gala eleven because finally almost all the players in the locker room could be registered, the Barcelonawho defends the title, could not break the iron and forceful defensive approach of bordallas. And one more campaign, he leaves Getafe without adding the three points. The expulsion of Raphinha neither did it help the culés, who arrived at the premiere of the course after signing a good preseason.
Xavi, against LaLiga: “It’s a shame”
“It has been a hard-fought game, but it couldn’t be today. Getafe defends well, it’s an uncomfortable team. We create a lot of danger. We had one or two very clear chances that in the end could give us victory. But it could not be”, lamented Ter Stegenwho had a very placid match, since the azulón block barely came close to his goal.
The German goalkeeper did, however, also self-criticism of the direct red card that Raphinha saw and that left them in inferiority already in the first half. “You play with one less and you have to adapt. It is a clear expulsion and it cannot happen to us“, asserted, very seriously, Ter Stegen.

Prudence
He Getafefor his part, celebrated the added point against the Barcelona. “We knew it would be a tough game. They have a lot of offensive level and we come from fair players. It has been noticed in the second half that they had a lot more bench”, he commented David Soria. “We know what we did wrong last year and we don’t want to repeat it. This is the path: intensity for all of us,” added the Getafe goalkeeper. In relation to the culé streak in the Coliseum, the goalkeeper opted for prudence: “Four games without conceding? You don’t have to talk too loud“.
