Three things we learned from Barcelona’s win over Getafe

Barcelona weren’t perfect against Getafe, far from it, and rode their luck more than a few times against a committed, feisty and hard-working home side.

The hosts will feel aggrieved to have had an early goal ruled out, also hit the post, and only Jaime Mata will know how he missed after going around Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

As Ernesto Valverde said after the match Getafe made Barcelona “suffer” but the champions held on and had enough to take all three points.

It marked the end to a perfect weekend for the champions who extended their lead at the top of the table to five points.
