Barcelona Player Ratings Against Getafe: Defensive Brilliance at the Coliseum

Sports news » Barcelona Player Ratings Against Getafe: Defensive Brilliance at the Coliseum

Barcelona secured their first win at the Coliseum since 2019, defeating Getafe 2-0 with goals from Fermin Lopez and Marcus Rashford.

Joan Garcia – 6.5

The goalkeeper had minimal work due to Barcelona’s strong defense, achieving his 14th clean sheet in La Liga without making any saves.

Jules Kounde – 5

The Frenchman had a challenging match, making several unpunished errors. He was substituted in the 60th minute.

Pau Cubarsi – 8.5

The teenager delivered a rock-solid performance, consistently repelling Getafe’s attacks. His most notable contribution was a crucial back-post clearance that prevented a certain goal.

Gerard Martin – 7.5

Similar to Cubarsi, Martin was exceptional, showcasing a classic defender’s display. The makeshift center-back continues to impress this season.

Joao Cancelo – 7.5

Despite past criticisms of his defensive capabilities, Cancelo performed very well, limiting Getafe’s progress down his flank. His performance likely solidifies any doubts about his permanent signing.

Gavi – 7

Gavi’s combative midfield presence was evident as he engaged Getafe in a battle for control. A first-half booking, however, led to his substitution in the 60th minute.

Pedri – 8

Marking a return to form, Pedri was instrumental in the midfield. He fought hard for possession and made a significant impact, notably providing the assist for Fermin Lopez’s goal.

Roony Bardghji – 6

This was not Bardghji’s most impactful game, as Getafe’s teenage left-back Davinchi effectively contained him.

Dani Olmo – 6.5

Olmo had a tidy performance, but his final pass was often lacking. He missed a clear scoring opportunity early in the match after a good run.

Fermin Lopez – 7

Lopez’s runs into space troubled defenders throughout the season, and he capitalized on this to score Barcelona’s first goal. His selection over Marcus Rashford was justified.

Robert Lewandowski – 7

While contributing little in attack, Lewandowski was excellent defensively, particularly from set-pieces. He also assisted Rashford’s goal.

Substitutes

Ronald Araujo – 6.5

Araujo had an encouraging cameo, providing a more solid presence than Kounde, whom he replaced.

Marcus Rashford – 6.5

Initially unlucky not to start, Rashford made a strong case to the coach with a fine performance off the bench, capped by another goal for Barcelona.

Frenkie de Jong – 6

The Dutch midfielder gained valuable minutes, helping Barcelona regain control in the closing stages of the match.

Alejandro Balde – 6

Balde helped to strengthen the defense in the latter part of the game.

Marc Casado – 5.5

Casado lost half a point for missing a clear chance in stoppage time.
