From the first minutes, the Camp Nou team completely overwhelmed their opponents. In the 15th minute, Dani Olmo made a delicate pass to help Ferran Torres escape and finish decisively, opening the score 1-0.
Just 19 minutes later, Raphinha deployed a quick counter-attack and helped Torres complete his double, raising the score to 2-0.
Getafe tried their best to attack but were helpless against Barcelona's solid defense and were disciplined. Thereby, Blaugrana continued to extend their winning streak and maintain pressure on Real Madrid in the race for the top spot.
In the second half, Barcelona still maintained control of the game. After many missed opportunities, in the 62nd minute, Marcus Rashford made a smart pass for Dani Olmo to launch a long-range shot to the left, sealing a convincing 3-0 victory for the home team.
In the remaining minutes, both Rashford and Lewandowski had dangerous shots but could not beat goalkeeper David Soria.
Getafe were also completely helpless in finding a way into Joan Garcia's goal, ending the match with a defeat.
The 3-0 victory over Getafe helped Barcelona increase their total points to 13 after 5 rounds, continuing to hold 2nd place on the rankings, only 2 points behind arch-rivals Real Madrid.
Under the reign of coach Hansi Flick, the Blaugrana are showing a fast and diverse playing style, promising to create an exciting two-horse race with Los Blancos this season.
