Balde, Cubarsi, Eric react after Barcelona 1-0 Getafe – ‘It’s a spectacular start’

Barcelona made it seven wins in seven matches in La Liga this season as they defeated Getafe 1-0 at Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys on Wednesday night.

Robert Lewandowski was the match-winner for the Blaugrana, scoring the only goal of the game.

Having been made to work hard by the opponents, Hansi Flick’s men showed great mentality to hold onto their lead and bag another victory that sends them four points clear of reigning champions Real Madrid.

Alejandro Balde wants to keep the streak going
Alejandro Balde spoke to the media after the game and reacted to Barcelona’s exceptional start to the season, saying (h/t AS):

“It’s the best start you can have and we want to keep it going. When we have the confidence, things go well.”

Discussing Getafe’s defensive approach to the game and how Barça wanted to tackle it, Balde remarked: “They are a defensive team who play their own game. We knew we had to play like that, try to tire them out and score.”
