FC Barcelona hosts Getafe in La Liga play at the Spotify Camp Nou on Saturday, October 10, 2026, with kickoff scheduled for 18:30 local time. L’Équipe reported the upcoming eighth-round fixture as Hansi Flick’s squad attempts to protect its unblemished domestic record. Barcelona enters the weekend atop the standings with 21 points from seven matches, while Getafe occupies 12th place.
Raphinha Ruled Out With Thigh Injury as Barcelona Rotates Attack
Barcelona will navigate Saturday’s fixture without forward Raphinha, who sustained a minor thigh injury while on international duty with Brazil, according to Foot Mercato. Club president Joan Laporta addressed the setback publicly. The doctors tell us that Raphinha will be available for Paris,
Laporta said, referencing the upcoming UEFA Champions League fixture against Paris Saint-Germain scheduled for October 20. Laporta also criticized international scheduling impacts: As a club, we are trying to make the international governing bodies understand that these interruptions cause us prejudice.
FotMob reported that Raphinha’s absence leaves manager Hansi Flick weighing alternative central attacking options, including Gabriel Jesus, who has logged just 41 minutes across four substitute appearances this term but scored two goals. Additional squad absences for Barcelona include Frenkie de Jong, Roony Bardghji, and Andreas Christensen. Meanwhile, YSScores confirmed that goalkeeper Juan García received medical clearance following a right knee sprain sustained against Racing Santander and is available for selection.
Getafe Seeks Offensive Spark Against League-Leading Defense
José Bordalás brings his Getafe side to Catalonia relying on traditional defensive organization, having conceded just seven goals in La Liga this season. However, FotMob noted that the Madrid-based club has generated a league-low 4.8 expected goals (xG) and scored only four times domestically. Getafe will be missing Christantus Uche and Juanmi due to injuries, with Abdel Aqbar and Kiko Femenía listed as doubtful. The club also carries an eight-match winless streak in away fixtures at the Camp Nou, having suffered a 3-0 defeat in their previous visit under Flick.
Historical Milestones and Record Streaks at Spotify Camp Nou
Goal.com reported that a victory against Getafe would allow Barcelona to equal the club record for their best-ever start to a La Liga season, matching previous marks set by the club historically. The Catalan side has scored 31 goals in seven league matches—averaging nearly four per game—surpassing the 29 goals netted at the same stage during the 1950–1951 campaign. A home win would also extend Barcelona’s consecutive home victory streak across all competitions to 23 matches, placing them within one win of matching Real Madrid’s all-time Spanish record of 24 straight home victories set between 1988 and 1990.
Match Officials and Broadcast Information
Jesus Gil Manzano has been appointed as the referee for the fixture. Live television coverage in Spain and designated regions will be broadcast on DAZN, with match updates tracked across official league and club channels.
