Perfect Barcelona chase eighth straight win against stubborn Getafe

📰 Barcelona, top of La Liga with a perfect record, face Getafe in their first match after the international break. 📌 Key points 🏟️ Kick-off is 6.30pm local time on 10 October at Spotify Camp Nou. 🔥 Barça have won all seven league games, scoring 31 and conceding seven. 🎯 Raphinha leads the league with 12 goals. 🧱 Getafe's games are low-scoring: four scored and seven conceded in seven. 🩹 Andreas Christensen is out for around four weeks with a thigh injury. 📝 What happened 🔥 Barcelona have won all seven league games to sit top on 21 points, five clear of second-placed Atlético. The club billed the Getafe match as a bid for "eight wins from eight" in La Liga. 🧱 Getafe are 11th on eight points (W2 D2 L3). They have scored only four goals in seven games but conceded just seven. According to RotoWire, they have scored once in three away games. José Bordalás usually sets up in a defensive 5-3-2. 🩹 Christensen has a muscle tear in his left thigh and is expected to miss around four weeks. Raphinha came off with thigh discomfort on international duty, but further tests showed no significant injury. 📊 By the numbers • Barcelona: P7 W7, 31 scored, 7 conceded, 21 points (1st) • Getafe: P7 W2 D2 L3, 4 scored, 7 conceded, 8 points (11th) • Raphinha: 12 league goals (top scorer) • Fermín López: 4 goals and 2 assists in six league games (RotoWire) 👀 What to watch 🔓 Breaking the block — how quickly Barça can open the spaces between Getafe's wing-backs and centre-backs will be key. 🎯 Raphinha's run — can the league's top scorer pick up where he left off before the break? 🔄 Rotation — with three away trips in eight days to come, how much Hansi Flick rotates is worth watching. 🧤 Clean sheet chance — Getafe have scored only four in seven, so this is a good chance for Barça's defence to keep a clean sheet. 🔭 Why it matters This opens a packed October for Barça: Galatasaray away in the Champions League on 13 October, Betis away on 17 October, PSG away on 20 October and El Clásico at home to Real Madrid on 25 October. A strong start matters. Kick-off is 6.30pm CEST on Saturday 10 October (1.30am KST on 11 October) at Spotify Camp Nou.
