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.
