Barcelona take perfect record into Getafe match

Barcelona enter Saturday’s La Liga match against Getafe with a perfect record after winning all seven of their league games and scoring 31 goals. The champions have 21 points and lead the table by five, according to the standings cited in match previews. The fixture was scheduled for October 10 at 5:30 p.m. BST at Spotify Camp Nou. The match is set to resume domestic competition after the international break. Barcelona will seek to maintain their early lead, while Getafe arrive 11th with eight points from seven matches: two wins, two draws and three losses. Getafe have scored four goals and conceded seven, the same number Barcelona have allowed. Barcelona’s attacking options will be affected by Raphinha’s absence. Coach Hansi Flick said the winger would miss the Getafe game and the following week’s Champions League match against Galatasaray after a thigh issue. Flick said the injury was not serious but that the club would take precautions. Raphinha’s goal totals in the previews refer to different scopes: one gives 12 without specifying competitions, while another reports 14 across all competitions.
