Barcelona Hosts Getafe in La Liga Clash: How to Watch

Barcelona is set to host Getafe in a crucial La Liga fixture this Sunday at
the Estadi Johan Cruyff. This match marks their second home game of the
season, with manager Hansi Flick navigating a packed schedule and key
player injuries.

Match Details

• Date: Sunday, September 21

The Estadi Johan Cruyff, home to Barcelona Femení, Barcelona B, and
Juvenil A (U19s), will once again serve as the temporary venue with a
capacity of 6,000 spectators as the club awaits the official reopening of
the Spotify Camp Nou.

Getafe’s Strong Start and Barcelona’s Challenges

Getafe arrives in Barcelona in impressive form, having secured three wins
from their first four fixtures. Under the tactical guidance of José
Bordalás, they are expected to employ a disciplined approach, aiming to
frustrate Barcelona and continue their strong start to the campaign.

For Hansi Flick’s Barcelona, managing player minutes is paramount amidst a
grueling schedule. Star winger Lamine Yamal is still recovering from an
injury sustained during the September international break, leaving a void
in the attack. However, Marcus Rashford has stepped up, making a strong
case for increased playing time after a stellar midweek performance.
