Barcelona show title intent with win over Getafe

In this final La Liga sprint, only the three points matters. Nothing more.

Beautiful football can be saved for another day, though there was some of that on show against Getafe in Thursday night’s encounter.

Given Jose Bordalas’ record against Barca was poor, a win was expected, but as so often happens, that narrative can seep into player’s minds and complacency often sets in.

At 3-2, for a short period at least, Getafe had opportunities to draw level and make the game much more difficult than it needed to be.
