Barcelona maintain perfect La Liga record with 3-0 win over Getafe
Barcelona beat Getafe 3-0 to extend their perfect start to eight La Liga matches. Anthony Gordon scored early in the first half, and Gabriel Jesus doubled the lead before halftime. Barcelona controlled the game and added a third goal to secure all three points.
Barcelona’s home win over Getafe on Saturday evening made it eight victories from eight in La Liga. Anthony Gordon registered his first Barcelona goal about 90 seconds in, getting past two defenders before a deflected finish. Gabriel Jesus doubled the advantage midway through the opening period after recovering the ball inside the box.
Jules Kounde netted the third following the interval, finishing Lamine Yamal’s cross with a half-volley. Barcelona controlled more than 80% of the ball before halftime, while Getafe sat deep and offered little. The outcome preserved Barcelona’s five-point lead at the summit.
Barcelona’s strong start may boost supporter morale and keep La Liga’s title race in the spotlight, potentially drawing more viewers and matchday interest. Rising expectations could affect players and coaches, while rivals may feel added pressure to keep pace. For Getafe and similar clubs, matches against dominant possession teams may highlight competitive and financial gaps, though a single result’s wider social impact is likely limited.
