Fortitude Sees Barca Through; FC Barcelona - 2, Getafe - 1
FC Barcelona continued their excellent winning form with a well fought 2-1 victory against Getafe. Barca looked to have total control of the game followed by Lionel Messi goal in the 7th minute, but a red-card for Pique changed the entire game. In the end it was a test for the resolve of this team and they came through in flying colours. But this victory came with his share of problems for Barca. Pique could be missing in action in the next match. Toure who was injured looks like he will miss the game for almost two weeks. Dani Alves, who has aggrevated his injury is now set to miss three weeks of action. With Alves and Puyol missing, Guardiola slotted Maxwell at Right back, who looked excellent in that position. Milito started in the league after a long time along with Pique and Abidal in defense. Xavi, Toure and Keita formed the midfield. Toure was also given a rare start in league by Guardiola. The front line featured Iniesta, Ibra and Messi.Feb 6, 2010
FC Barcelona vs Getafe Preview
The league gets back o its normal ways again tonight. Barca will try to increase their lead to put pressure on Real Madrid who plays after our match. Getafe lies in the 7th position and will offer a tough challenge for Barca, who will be missing their captain Puyol through suspension. Barca has lost twice this season and in both those matches we miss Puyol badly. There are certain selection scenarios ahead for Guardiola, but the most anticipated of them will be who will play the defensive midfielder role. I already has resigned to the fact of Toure being forced out of the club in summer so I don't expect Guardiola to pick him. Dani Alves has returned back from injury and should start in this match against Getafe. last season getafe were one of the few teams who escaped from Camp Nou with a draw. Barcelona has struggled against Getafe in recent competitions, so thsi is going to be a very tough challenge for this Barca side.
