Barcelona will be facing Getafe as soon as the Spanish La Liga kicks off again and Tito Vilanova believes that his weekend opponents are going to be tough to beat.
This season Barcelona have taken the perfect start, even though they failed to win the Supercopa de Espana against their bitter rivals, Real Madrid.
The Catalan giants faced Real Sociedad in their very first fixture and managed to win it 5-1, with the recently recovered, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-Villa-c10629, also scoring a goal.
While La Blaugrana took all three points from their first fixture, Madrid were able to draw their game against Valencia and had to settle for a point.
The second La Liga fixture, for Barcelona, was against Osasuna. While Barcelona were expected to win the game by a big margin, they could only manage a 2-1 victory, and it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 who scored a brace to give his side the lead after conceding a goal in the first half and giving the opponents a goal’s advantage.
Madrid, on the other hand, lost the game against Getafe and allowed Barcelona to take a leap over them in the Spanish La Liga title race.
During this time, La Blaugrana were also playing against Real Madrid for the Supercopa de Espana and even though they won the first leg 3-2 at the Nou Camp, they lost the second leg 2-1, and surrendered the title to Los Blancos.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ronaldo-c31734 guided Madrid to a 3-0 victory over Granada and took his side 5 points, 4 points behind Barcelona.
Since Getafe have managed to beat Real Madrid, Tito Vilanova is wary of this fact and believes that the fixture against Getafe during the weekend is going to be difficult.
While speaking about the game against Getafe, Vilanova said:
“The game is an important one for us. It is a place where we have been poor of late. Against us they are usually tight at the back and make us feel uncomfortable.”
Barcelona will take on the challenge of Getafe this weekend and it will get tougher for them since they are missing a few key players due to injury.
