Barcelona vs. Getafe: What to watch for
Barcelona beat Villarreal 2-1 in a rare midweek La Liga match on Tuesday, with goals by Griezmann and Arthur Melo in the first 15 minutes establishing a lead they wouldn’t relinquish. The win would come at a cost, though. Messi got his first start after missing the initial part of the 2019-20 campaign with injury and assisted on Griezmann’s opener. But Messi, who on Monday won FIFA’s “the Best” award—the award formerly known as the Ballon D’Or—picked up an adductor injury in the first half and didn’t return after the break. Barca, now sixth in the table, also faces Champions League action midweek, hosting Inter Milan.
Getafe hasn’t lost any of its prior five La Liga matches, including a 3-3 Wednesday draw with Valencia. The recent run of results, which have mostly been draws, leaves Getafe 10th in the table. But that unbeaten string could come to an end even without Messi on the field.
