Getafe and Barcelona are being measured this Sunday in the first day of the 2023/2024 League. For now, the goalless tie remains. The meeting, locked in itself, has been complicated for the Catalans. Raphinha has left Barça with ten after being sent off for assaulting Gastón. Although the forces have been balanced with the expulsion of Jaime Mata for a double yellow card. After a summer marked by economic difficulties and the levers, Xavi’s men begin their title defense at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, against the always uncomfortable team of José Bordalás. Barça is already under some pressure ahead of the match because Real Madrid opened on Saturday with a victory at San Mamés. Gündogan, starter after being registered at the last moment, is the main new face of the project, whose success in the domestic competition is again entrusted to the good work of Ter Stegen and Lewandowski in both areas. Getafe scratched a point against Xavi’s men at home last season, in a clash remembered because the coach complained about the state of the pitch and the sunlight.
