Barça hasn’t been able to get past a 1-1 tie at the Coliseum against Getafe.
Barça’s missed a golden opportunity to close in on the top of LaLiga after Atlético’s recent stumble. Against Getafe, once again, they couldn’t secure a victory, only managing a 1-1 tie at the Coliseum. It seemed that, quickly, the match had turned in Hansi Flick’s team’s favor against a consistently tough opponent.
Barça didn’t take long to break the deadlock against Getafe, with Kounde capitalizing on a small error by the opposing goalkeeper to score. However, the joy didn’t last long for the culers, as Arambarriequalized before the first half ended.
In a match marked by positional play and Barça’s inefficiency, the final result ended in a 1-1 draw… insufficient for a Barça that wanted to continue their good streak. It’s hard to believe that a team struggling against Getafe was playing like angels against Real Madrid in Arabia less than a week ago.
Lamine Yamal wasn’t at all pleased with Barça’s performance at the Coliseum. The young academy player, despite his age, knows he has enough credit to ask for what he wants, and that’s exactly what he’s done: now Laporta listens alertly to his request.
Laporta Listens to Lamine Yamal
Laporta’s intention is to renew Lamine Yamal and he wants to keep him happy before starting serious negotiations. The ’19’s desire is clear and relates to the team’s composition: he believes it’s necessary to add another high-level striker. Barça’s had many problems scoring in Getafe and believes an ideal reinforcement would be Marcus Rashford.
Marcus Rashford meets all the conditions Lamine Yamal believes a Barça forward should have. Initially, he’s thought of as a left winger who cuts inside, but he can also play as a ‘9’, something important for when Lewandowski isn’t sharp… as happened tonight against Getafe.
In fact, the Pole didn’t finish this match at the Coliseum, being substituted around the 80th minute by Ferran Torres. Marcus Rashford’s name seems key for the future of the market in Barça’s plans. In fact, the Englishman is eager to play for Barça, especially now that he knows Lamine Yamal wants him as a teammate. The plan is clear, and they hope to fulfilll his wish.
