Barça wants to continue its streak after the Spanish Super Cup and, after overcoming Betis, today it's time to defeat the always tough Getafe in LaLiga. A match, in principle, unbalanced, that shouldn't pose too many problems for Hansi Flick's team, despite the defensive mentality of the azulones. In the first half, an entertaining and undecided match was seen, with a 1-1 scoreline.
Kounde quickly broke the deadlock for Barcelona, taking advantage of a slight error by David Soria and sending the ball into the back of the net in the 9th minute. However, Getafe capitalized on its only chance through Arambarri, equalizing in the 34th minute and leaving everything open for the second half.
LaLiga is a priority for Hansi Flick and he has always tried to demonstrate it. If that wasn't enough, the German seems to have definitively closed the door on doubts in the goalkeeping position, once again selecting Iñaki Peña as the starter. There were doubts about the choice of the Alicante native due to the good impressions left by Szczęsny in the Super Cup, but it seems the German has a plan.
Hansi Flick Makes the Decision against Getafe: Bomb at Barça, Affects the Champions
Hansi Flick is clear: LaLiga is for Iñaki Peña. The Alicante native will be the starter in the regular tournament, as he has earned it. However, the rest of the competitions will be for Szczęsny, a goalkeeper who has shown to be more than prepared despite having been retired for a few months.
After the announcement of Iñaki Peña's starting role against Getafe, a bomb news was published by journalist Víctor Navarro. There should be no more doubts in any of the competitions: the Alicante native for LaLiga, and Szczęsny for the other competitions. It's expected that the Pole will start in the next Champions League match, visiting Benfica.
Szczęsny is a goalkeeper who brings a lot of calm to all of Barcelona's fans, but especially to Hansi Flick. Barça's coach has a lot of confidence in his qualities, but he believes that taking away Iñaki Peña's starting role in LaLiga is undeserved. The plan is clear and leaves no room for doubt, having made this selection against Getafe.
LaLiga is for Iñaki Peña, the Champions is for Szczęsny
In this regard, and according to the aforementioned information, it's expected to see 'Tek' starting in the next Champions League match. To finish the new league phase, Barça has two matches ahead: against Benfica and Atalanta. The situation is practically unbeatable, being in second place with 15 points after six matches.
Hansi Flick hopes, with this resolution (seen against Getafe), to see the best version of both. A Solomonic decision to please both Iñaki Peña and the Pole.
