Getafe coach JoséBordalás expressed his discontent after the 3‑0 defeat against FCBarcelona at the CampNou, but also highlighted the talent of LamineYamal, whom he described as a future candidate for the Ballon d'Or.
Bordalás did not hide his anger when commenting on the performance of his players. “I am angry about the result and because we have not competed as we should,” he said, pointing out that the team was affected by defensive errors that marked the match. Barça's first goal, scored by Gordon in the first minute, determined the game and, according to the coach, subsequent errors pushed Getafe to defeat. "We conceded in the first minute and shot ourselves in the foot. The second goal was also a gift and the third, an error in marking," he explained, underlining that the lack of concentration and Barça pressure were decisive factors.
Despite the criticism, Bordalás recognized the quality of Barcelona and the superiority of its vertical game and ball recovery. “I'm not taking credit away from Barça, but we didn't enter the game as we should have... I'm not happy at all,” he said. The coach insisted that his team should have offered a very different image and that the result does not reflect the winning identity he expects from his players.
In the midst of the defeat, Bordalás praised LamineYamal, describing him as a “fantastic” player and “very difficult” to contain. "He is very good at one-on-one, finishing and passing. He is a great player, young, and shows the level he has," he commented. The coach added that Yamal “will grow much more and can win the Ballon d'Or. I have no doubt,” underlining his confidence in the forward's future.
The coach also recalled his admiration for JohanCruyff and the influence he had on Barça's style. "I was always a lover of Johan, as a player and coach. He was my idol. Barça always seems to play the same way," he said. Bordalás concluded that, although each era is different, Cruyff's legacy is still present in the club's philosophy.
With the defeat already recorded, Getafe will return to the competition with the intention of correcting its defensive failures and improving its performance in the next matches. Meanwhile, Barcelona will continue to establish themselves as one of the most dominant teams in the league, and the young LamineYamal will continue to be a focal point of attention for both their fans and football critics.
