Barcelona beat third-placed Getafe 2-1 at home to stay on the heels of La Liga title rivals Real Madrid
Soccer Football - La Liga Santander - FC Barcelona v Getafe - Camp Nou, Barcelona, Spain - February 15, 2020.
Getafe pulled a goal back in the 66th with a stunning volley from striker Angel Rodriguez, who almost snatched an equaliser but was denied by Barca keeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who then flew to the floor to prevent Jaime Mata netting on the rebound. "We put in a fantastic effort and no-one should forget we are a small team and put in a great performance. It's a shame we couldn't get the best result," he told reporters.
The unfashionable Madrid side, who are the youngest club in La Liga, have shaken up the top-flight this season with their intense and aggressive style and went to the Camp Nou on a run of four league wins in a row without conceding a goal.There was added intrigue due to a long-standing rivalry between Getafe coach Jose Bordalas and Barca's Quique Setien, who had clashed on several occasions in the past due to their opposing football philosophies.
