How will Barcelona line up against Getafe in their La Liga opener?

The official start of Barcelona’s season takes place on Sunday evening in Madrid as the Catalans begin their La Liga title defense with a historically tough away trip, against Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez.

The Blaugrana come into this one with plenty of uncertainty with a plethora of transfer rumors and a race against time to register their new signings and contract renewals to have a full squad for the league opener. They also had mixed results in preseason, winning three of four games with a few inconsistent team performances.
