Barcelona defeated Getafe 3–0 at Spotify Camp Nou and maintained a perfect start to LaLiga: eight wins in eight matchdays, for a total of 24 points. Anthony Gordon, Gabriel Jesus and Jules Koundé scored on Saturday, October 10.
The result settled the first test after the international break. Hansi Flick’s team maintained its streak despite changes to the starting lineup and went into halftime with a lead before completing the scoreline in the second half.
Gordon opens the scoring and Jesus extends the lead
Gordon scored in the second minute and forced Getafe to chase the game almost from the start. The early lead changed the conditions of a match in which the visitors could no longer keep a clean sheet while looking for their chance.
Gabriel Jesus scored the second goal in the 30th minute in his first league start for Barcelona. The Brazilian’s performance added an attacking contribution on a matchday marked by rotation and Raphinha’s absence. The 2–0 scoreline gave the hosts a two-goal cushion at halftime.
The sequence of goals explains the control of the result: Barcelona did not have to wait until the end to break the deadlock or come back from a deficit. Getafe had to seek a response while trailing for almost the entire match.
Koundé completes the 3–0
The third goal came in the 73rd minute, scored by Koundé with Lamine Yamal providing the assist. The goal extended a lead that Getafe could not cut into and sealed a win without conceding.
Coverage of the match records Barcelona’s broad dominance in possession and chances. That context is consistent with a scoreline built from the start, although the decisive result ultimately came in the form of three goals, not the amount of time spent on the ball.
For Jesus, scoring in his first league start is the most notable individual detail. For the team, the result is maintaining a perfect points record with different players contributing to the attack.
Twenty-four points before a demanding stretch
Eight wins equal 24 points out of a possible 24. The streak matches the eight-win league start achieved by Gerardo Martino’s Barcelona in the 2013–14 season, according to coverage of the matchday.
The immediate schedule again combines LaLiga and the Champions League. Europa Press lists Galatasaray as the next European opponent, while October’s schedule includes the upcoming Clásico against Real Madrid. Maintaining production with rotation will be relevant during that stretch, although the result against Getafe does not predict the outcomes against the next opponents.
Getafe ended the trip without points and with eight points in the standings. For Barcelona, the day’s record was complete: a win, a clean sheet and the continuation of a start that has yet to see the team drop any points.
