La Liga leaders FC Barcelona host Getafe on matchday 7 of the Spanish championship (a match to follow live on FM, kick-off 9pm). The Catalans, despite the defeat in Monaco in the Champions League, have impressed at the start of the season with six wins in as many matches and already 22 goals scored, for only five conceded. Opposite, Getafe is suffering with four points in six matches and still no win.
For this match, Hansi Flick records the return of Ferran Torres but is deprived of Ter Stegen, Olmo, Fermin, Gavi, De Jong or Araujo and Christensen. It is Pena who will therefore keep the Catalan goal with Koundé, Cubarsi, Martinez and Baldé in defense. Garcia is aligned in the middle with Casado while Pablo Torre starts in support of Lewandowski, Yamal and Raphinha. Pedri is a substitute. Opposite, Patricio Moreno must compose without Aberdin and Rodriguez. He opts for a 5-4-1 with Perez at the point and Milla and Uche on the wings. Sola starts on the left of the defense and will have a lot of work against Yamal.
The official compositions:
FC Barcelona: Pena – Koundé, Cubarsi, Martinez, Baldé – Casado, Garcia – Yamal, Torre, Raphinha – Lewandowski.
Getafe: Soria – Iglesias, Djené, Alderete, Berrocal, Sola – Milla, Alena, Santiago, Uche – Perez.
