Pedri and Koeman give Barcelona reasons to be cheerful

A first defeat of the season against an over-zealous (and that’s putting it politely) Getafe side, is a little deflating because better finishing from Antoine Griezmann and more luck in front of goal generally would’ve seen Barca come away from the Coliseum Alfonso Perez with at least a point.

Jose Bordalas had set his stall out quite early, the side from Madrid would rough Barca’s players up at every opportunity and disrupt their flow.

On another day, the visitors would’ve benefitted from better refereeing, but as it was, both the on-pitch officials and those in the VAR room clearly had an off day.
