Barcelona face a challenging test on Saturday evening as they travel to the Coliseum to play Getafe in their first La Liga match of 2025.
With Real Madrid currently leading the table, Barcelona aims to close the gap to two points. However, victory at Getafe's home ground has proven difficult for many teams in recent years.
Hansi Flick’s side enters the match with momentum, having won all four of their games in 2025.
Three changes are expected from their midweek win over Real Betis, with Alejandro Balde, Marc Casado, and Robert Lewandowski set to start, replacing Gerard Martin, Frenkie de Jong, and Dani Olmo.
Getafe, also in strong form with three consecutive wins, will rely on Borja Mayoral, who is fit to start for the first time this season. A win for Barcelona would underline their resurgence and solidify their title ambitions.
