Forget and forget about other problems. That is the goal of Barcelona this Wednesday at the Montjuic Olympic Stadium against the low-profile but always confident Getafe with José Bordalás at the helm. The team led by Hansi Flick faces a game that should serve from the serious injury suffered by Ter Stegen and to continue looking to the future with hope. The culés can add their seventh consecutive victory in the league and, in the process, open the gap before a final in which Real Madrid and Atlético will meet at the Metropolitano.
“We analyzed the game against Villarreal and we have seen many things that can be improved. We have not reached the end of the road. You can always do something more and against Getafe we will have to do different things. In each game you have to be consistent,” said Flick in advance of one of those trap matches that the calendar is full of. The German coach is optimistic despite the continuous losses he has accumulated at the beginning of the season and stated that he is “thinking about some rotations” to reduce the number of games.
These changes occur mainly in the goalkeeper and will be the right ones because the hospital is also filled with the losses of Araujo, Christensen, Marc Bernal, Frenkie de Jong, Gavi, Fermín López, Dani Olmo and Ter Stegen. Given this scenario, Iñaki Peña will make his debut as a starter while waiting for a new keeper to arrive, Balde will return to the left after the break at La Cerámica and Iñigo Martínez, with anxiety, can leave his place at the back to Eric Garcia. The move of the former Girona player could mean that Pablo Torre will start with Marc Casadó and that Pedri or Raphinha will be rested to leave an eleven place for Ansu Fati or Ferran Torres on the left. In any case, no change will work to move Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, the tournament’s top scorer and top scorer respectively.
The opposite will be the antithesis of Barcelona. Getafe is a strong team, built in the image and style of Bordalás and will arrive at the captain’s house with the clear task of being a thorn in Flick’s side. Also, the blues arrived with some worrying data. They are, along with Las Palmas, the only team not to have won a single game in the league and have fallen just outside the relegation zone. They need to add to get out of the slump and Bordalás will be able to count on, of course, all his players except for the injuries of Álvaro Rodríguez and Nabil Aberdin.
