Barcelona are now five points clear of Atlético Madrid at the top of the table in La Liga thanks to a 2-1 win away to Getafe in the first game of 2019. This wasn’t a pleasant watch by all means, but Barça scored enough goals against a really good Getafe team to get three big points.
FIRST HALF
The start of the game was quite ugly, with plenty of fouls and yellow cards for both sides. There was just no flow to the game at all, and neither team was able to create anything in the first 20 minutes.
