Getafe vs FC Barcelona, La Liga: Hansi Flick’s Men Held As Blaugrana Lose More Ground In Title Race


Sports

Barcelona was coming off huge wins: A 5-2 thrashing of Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final and a 5-1 win over Real Betis in the Copa del Rey. Barcelona visits Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday. But José Bordalás’s Getafe, with its physical, defensive style, once again frustrated Barcelona in Hansi Flick’s first visit as its coach. Koundé put Barcelona ahead when Pedri threaded a pass to meet the right back’s move into the area. Goalkeeper David Soría blocked his first effort but Koundé scrambled the rebound out of Soría’s grasp and over the line. Moments after Raphinha headed a cross by Koundé into the side netting, Getafe leveled in the 34th during a defensive letdown by the visitors. Mauro Arambarri put in a loose ball after Iñaki Peña did well to make a one-handed save of a volley by Coba de Costa.
