Fc Barcelona edge past Getafe to maintain top spot

 

Fc Barcelona returned to La Liga Santander with a victory at home against Getafe with Pedri being the difference at the Camp Nou Spotify.

 

The Catalans were without their talisman Lewandoski as he is still facing a 3 match ban.

 

Following their massive against Cueta, the Blaugranas were full of confidence going into this game and Xavi’s men completed the task required of them in front of their home fans.

 

The game started with both sides having chances coming at a premium until a wonderful pass from Raphina found Pedri to break the deadlock for the hosts in the 35th minute.

 

Getafe however, came back to take the game to Barca in the second half yet heroics from the in-form Marc Andre Ter Stegen denied them a chance to restore parity.

 

Barcelona also created chances in the second half but couldn’t extend their lead with Ansu Fati, Frank Kessie and Ousmane Dembele all coming close to doubling the Catalans’ lead.

 

The wins puts Barcelona 3 points clear of Real Madrid in the League standings.
