Barcelona achieved its eighth consecutive victory in the League, equaling the best start to the 2013-14 season under Tata Martino. The victory, obtained with a resounding 3‑0 against Getafe, consolidated the solidity of the team after the long break for the national teams and reinforced the confidence of the players who have claimed themselves on the field.
The first goal came in the first minute, when England striker Gordon, who had scored four times in his last four appearances for the national team, opened the scoring. His early shot dispelled doubts about his scoring ability at the club, where until now he had not stood out as a scorer despite his four assists. The goal also marked Gordon's return to the first match after the break from international competitions.
Halfway through the first half, midfielder Gabriel Jesus scored the second goal, taking advantage of Raphinha's absence. The Brazilian striker, who recently joined the squad, showed his quality with a precise shot that closed the gap. Jesus reminded fans of his style of play, compared to Romario's, but with greater pressure and focus on ball recovery.
The third goal, decisive and definitive, was scored by the French right back Koundé. After losing the starting position at the beginning of the campaign, the player took advantage of Flick's rotations in the right lane and joined Lamine to create the play that culminated in the golden assist. Koundé, who had been in the shadows, proclaimed himself the hero of the match by scoring 3‑0, which restored the confidence and appreciation of his teammates.
The result not only reinforces Barcelona's position in the table, but also shows the team's ability to face greater challenges. With upcoming matches against Getafe, Galatasaray, Betis, PSG and Real Madrid, the club shows that its squad can adapt and overcome the most demanding challenges after the international break.
