Without Lamine Yamal and in a ground they hadn’t won in since the Lionel Messi era, Barcelona defeated Getafe 2–0 on Saturday night to put one hand on the La Liga title.
It was a rocky affair in Spain’s capital where, as forecasted, scoring opportunities were hard to come by. But a stunning ball from Pedri sufficed to finally bypass a sturdy Getafe low-block and Fermín López kept his composure to score what turned out to be the winner on the verge of half-time.
