This victory took Barcelona to the second slot in the La Liga standings, albeit momentarily.

The squad led by Xavi was in complete control from the very beginning of the game. They had the majority of possession and were also dangerous in practically all of their attacks.

The side from Catalonia seized the lead in the twenty minute mark with a goal scored by Raphinha. In the second half, Joao Felix, Frenkie de Jong, and Fermin Lopez added to the scoreline, all of which contributed to the overall score.

The outcome of the match means that Barcelona has not suffered a single loss in any of their previous five matches in La Liga this season. Their most recent loss came against Villarreal in the latter part of January.

To commemorate this milestone, let’s take a look at some of the most important statistics from Barcelona’s resounding victory over Getafe.

It was a wonderful evening for Gundo and Felix.

It is safe to conclude that Gundogan was Barcelona’s engine throughout the entirety of the game, despite the fact that he did not score on the night. Gundogan was positioned beside De Jong and Andreas Christensen.

Therefore, the former Manchester City player produced five vital opportunities, which was the most by any player on the pitch. In addition, he became the first player in the top five European leagues to surpass the 100 chances created this season across all competitions. This accomplishment was accomplished by the former Manchester City player.

During this time, Felix also had a wonderful evening. As a result of the fact that the former Benfica forward had three shots on target throughout the evening, it should not come as a surprise that he was able to register his name on the scoresheet.

Now, it is true that he has experienced a number of challenges throughout the course of this season; but, the goal that he scored against Getafe was his fifth league goal of the season. This indicates that the Portuguese player has scored four goals in his previous eight matches in the league.

Bravo to the brilliance of De Jong and Robert Lewandowski

It should come as no surprise that De Jong, who was able to get his name on the scoresheet, had an outstanding evening. Over the course of the match, the Dutch international completed an astounding 74 passes, resulting in a success rate of 92% across the board. In addition to that, the midfielder made four attempts at making tackles and was successful in each and every one of them.

A total of ten duels were won by the midfielder against Getafe, which was the most number of duels won in the game.

Even though Lewandowski, an experienced forward, had a rather quiet night, his overall statistics for the year 2024 are still quite good. As a result, he has scored nine goals in the current year, while Kylian Mbappe of Paris Saint-Germain is the only player to have scored more (16).
