Continuation of the first day of La Liga with FC Barcelona which moves on the lawn of Getafe. Champion last season, the Catalan club is putting its title on the line and must start this new exercise with an away victory. Opposite, Getafe is not the favorite in this confrontation but will be keen to play the role of spoilsport. The club from the suburbs of Madrid barely stayed in the top flight last season and will have to fight for every point again in this 2023-2024 exercise. This meeting can be followed live with commentary on the French Football Weekly website.
As for team compositions, Xavi unsurprisingly opts for a 4-3-3. Arrived this summer from Manchester City, Gündogan holds the midfield with De Jong and Romeu, Koundé is aligned at the right side position. In attack, Pedri will support Raphinha and Lewandowski. At the Azulones, it is a relatively defensive team which is set up, Mata and Latasa will have the mission of weighing on the defense of Barça.
The essays
Getafé: Soria – Suarez, Duarte, Mitrovic, Alvarez – Iglesias, Djene, Maksimovic, Alena – Mata, Latasa.
FC Barcelona : Ter Stegen – Koundé, Araujo, Balde – Romeu, Gundogan, De Jong – Raphinha, Lewandowski, Pedri.
