In a day that Real Madrid he had lost he had a house in Cádiz, a week before The classicThis was an opportunity for Barça to go to the top of the table, and with a match, or even matches, in the hands of the rest of the pioneers. However, streaks of 15 games without defeating Getafe and four consecutive victories in the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez came to an end when Getafe inflicted the first defeat of the season in Ronald Koemanof the Barça.
Dest debut
With new signing Sergiño Dest making his debut for Barça as a left-back, from the beginning, almost all the action was on the Getafe field. But turning that dominance into clear opportunities proved difficult against the typically solid defense of the hosts.
Leo Messi he came agonizingly close as he launched a long-range effort toward the post … Antoine Griezmann he found himself in a wonderful position, but sent the ball over the crossbar …
And that was the end of a first half in which Barça looked much better, and Pedri in particular had been one of the standout players, but Getafe had created more than an occasional threat on the counterattack, with Maksimovic early and former Barcelona player Marc Cucurella both are dangerously close to scoring.
Penalty of grief
However, it was very against the march when Getafe went ahead. Frenkie de Jong was judged to have brought Djene down in the area and Jaime Mata converted from the penalty spot.
Barça pushed and pushed and deserved at least one draw for their effort, but it was Cucurella, denied by a great goal from grandchildY Cucho, whose shot the Brazilian elbowed the crossbar, which had been closer to scoring.
The game went into a very agonizing final minutes. Barça threw everything they could forward and was again on the verge of catching from behind when Cucho wasted an opportunity to make it 2-0.
Frustration
There was still hope that the Blaugrana could at least save a point. Riqui Puig entered during the final minutes, the first of the current campaign. But Jose Bordalás He really has put together a very close unit in the south of Madrid… Try like Barça did, the goal just didn’t want to come and this game ended in disappointment.
The following is a change of competition when the Champions returns to the Camp Nou and Ferencváros visit for the first time … and then, it’s time for the Classic.
