Barcelona extended their unbeaten start to the 2025/26 La Liga season with a commanding 3-0 victory over Getafe at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on Sunday.
Despite the frustration of playing in front of a reduced-capacity crowd, Hansi Flick’s men responded in style, thanks to a brace from Ferran Torres and a superb strike from Dani Olmo.
Torres opened the scoring in the 15th minute with a first-time finish from Olmo’s clever back-heel. He doubled the lead in the 34th minute with a fierce long-range strike. The Spanish forward came close to completing his hat-trick before halftime, but his effort rattled the crossbar.
Olmo sealed the win in the 62nd minute, calmly slotting home after Marcus Rashford’s cut-back. Rashford nearly got on the scoresheet himself during stoppage time, only to be denied by a fine save from the Getafe goalkeeper.
Barcelona dominated possession with 71 percent, attempting 16 shots—seven on target—while limiting Getafe to just three attempts, including two on goal.

Getafe, who had won three of their first four matches, slipped to eighth place after the defeat.
