The coach, Hansi Flick, downplayed the situation.\n\n

It’s normal, because we have a match every three or four days. We also need fresh legs on the field.<\/p>Hansi Flick<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nFlick, known for his zero-tolerance policy towards tardiness, had already benched Raphinha in a previous match for being late to an activation session.\n\nOther players like Jules Kound\u00e9 and I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a have also faced similar sanctions in the past.\n\nThe source emphasized that Rashford’s tardiness was minimal and is not considered a serious problem.\n\n

Three points, three-zero, it’s fine. Everything is fine. I told the team we had to focus on our game. We did it in both halves. We controlled the game, got three points and scored three goals. It’s not always easy to score against Getafe, but today it was good.<\/p>Hansi Flick<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\nThe match had tense moments, with Barcelona feeling aggrieved by Getafe’s defensive aggressiveness.\n\nFerran Torres criticized Getafe’s game, mentioning the constant fouls, which provoked an angry response from the rival coach, Jose Bordalas.\n\nThat’s a very opportunistic opinion. The difference between the teams is 1 billion euros, so I have nothing more to say.\n\nBarcelona’s night was marred by Ferm\u00edn L\u00f3pez’s injury, who will undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury.\n\nThe team hopes to have him for the next match against Real Oviedo in LaLiga. Lamine Yamal is also in the recovery process and could return to the team.\n\nBarcelona remains unbeaten in LaLiga this season, with 13 points in five matches, two less than the leader, Real Madrid.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
