On Sunday afternoon Barcelona put some of the pain of last week's Champions League exit behind them, with an uninspiring but efficient victory against a stubborn Getafe side.
Undoubtedly looking to capitalise on Barcelona's post Champions League exit slump, Getafe made a lively start to the contest. Content to let Barcelona have much of the ball - they counter attacked with pace and aggression and were nearly rewarded with an early goal, when striker Molina launched his effort over the crossbar.
When Barcelona eventually broke the deadlock, it was through a well executed set piece rather than a polished series of passes.
