After the great success in the Super Cup and the trip to the cup, Barcelona returns to La Liga at this time, when it hosts Getafe at the Camp Nou as part of the 18th round, with the aim of opening a temporary gap of six points from Real Madrid. The game, like all the Spanish league games, is broadcast on ONE channel for Yes, HOT Cellcom TV and Partner TV subscribers.
Xavi’s team celebrated a convincing 1:3 victory over their bitter rival in White in the Super Cup, and went on to an easy 0:5 over Saote from the bottom of the third division in the round of 16 of the cup. The Catalans have not lost since the 3:0 to Bayern Munich in the group stage of the champions, when in the league they have not surrendered since October.
On the other side of the barricade, Getafe has not made a mistake and lost in three of its last four cycles, being close to the red line. If that’s not enough, in between also came a painful expulsion from the King’s Cup after a 3:2 loss to Levante at the beginning of the month.
The last meeting between the Catalans and the modest team from Madrid ended 0:0 at the latter’s home. At the Camp Nou, the story is completely different, when the last match at the home stadium of the Blaugrana ended in 1:2. The last time Getafe managed to get points on this ground was in February 2018, with a 0:0 draw.
