00:00What's happened behind the scenes in terms of the players that they've brought in.
00:03Satriana with four goals starts this afternoon.
00:05Vazquez with three starts this one.
00:10Gené and Da Vinci across the back.
00:12Mija, Arambari and Mario Martini midfield.
00:16Bermanchevic starts, is fit to start.
00:19Pedri will be partnered by Gavi because De Jong is on the bench.
00:22Rooney Bardagi deputises for the injured de Lamin.
00:26Dominate possession, can he be the difference when it comes to getting the ball in the penalty box?
00:30My answer is probably.
00:32Well, he hasn't had his best season, obviously.
00:36But yet, despite that, it's 12 goals in 12 starts.
00:40And he starts this afternoon.
00:46Fermin, a little bit of space for Olmo.
00:48He's threaded that through for Pedri.
00:50He's forced slightly wide.
00:52Cross to the back post.
00:53Lewandowski rising.
00:54And over the top, the first chance for Barcelona's number nine.
00:58He's a veteran player, veteran superstar, with a point to prove to Hansi Flick.
01:03Because recently, Ferran Torres has been getting a nod ahead of him.
01:08He's got involved in the build-up.
01:11Koundé's good in the out.
01:14He's on the ball now.
01:16Giving that back to Rooney.
01:17Rooney with the shot!
01:18And not too far away from Soria's right hand upright.
01:22Well, the better side of Koundé in an attacking sense.
01:25Yeah.
01:26Supports well.
01:27Gives the option of the pass out wide.
01:29Then the return back to Rooney Badagi.
01:33And it'll be interesting from this angle to see how far...
01:35How wide it is.
01:37It's just always drifting away, isn't it?
01:41He tends to play left wing when he plays for his country.
01:46Ball is slipped through here.
01:47This could be the opening goal.
01:48And it is the opening goal.
01:50Barcelona take the lead.
01:51And the masked man strikes on 45 minutes.
01:56Firmin with the goal.
01:57The breakthrough comes.
01:59And Getafe will have to go up with something a little bit different in the second half.
02:03Because they are behind.
02:04It's Getafe 0, Barcelona 1.
02:06Yep, that's been their best route to goal.
02:07We've seen Danielmo on a few occasions.
02:09One or two other players.
02:11And they've kind of disguised the fact that they may be going into a wide position to pass the ball
02:16out wide.
02:17But when they've gone through the middle, they've been really incisive.
02:20Which is surprising.
02:21They turn the ball over.
02:22They do it really well.
02:24They get the ball back.
02:25Kubasi and Pedri.
02:26And then they pounce.
02:28Now, I guess VAR is going to look at this challenge.
02:31I don't think there's anything untoward there.
02:32He's in an onside position.
02:34It's the type of aggressive forthright run that we see from Firmin Lopez.
02:40Goal hungry.
02:41He's starving.
02:42For the title.
02:43There is that possibility with the quality that they have that they do find that little space now and then.
02:47Well, just two minutes added on.
02:49And referee Francisco José Hernández blows the half-time whistle.
02:54A wide midfield player.
02:56An attacking player.
02:57So it's obviously going to be two centre-backs.
03:00Duarte and Gen 8.
03:01We'll see what happens with Iglesias and Da Vinci and Kiko Femenia.
03:10Yeah.
03:11To chase Lewandowski.
03:13Makes his sprint into the penalty area.
03:14The cross comes in.
03:15Oh, no.
03:15And it's pushed wide by Soria.
03:19Well.
03:20Is he onside?
03:22Yes.
03:25He wraps his foot around the ball.
03:26Gets the ball in nice and early.
03:28Gets it in behind the defence.
03:34Firmin sends it back out to Cancelo.
03:38Cancelo whips it into the area.
03:39Kounda gets the header.
03:40And just a fraction wide of the far post.
03:43Well, again, we've pointed out the defensive shortcomings of Kounda in this match.
03:48So it's almost the second goal of the game there.
03:49And it's something he's always been good at.
03:52Even going back to his severe days when he was a central defender.
03:55One of those players that's not the tallest.
03:59Whenever he gets himself in the penalty box.
04:06And Rooney Baradagy is the third player to be taken off.
04:23To the back post.
04:24Gerard Martin with the header.
04:26Well taken by David Soria.
04:28Complaints from the Barcelona bench.
04:29Is this an off-the-ball incident?
04:31And Gerard Martin, he does well to get there.
04:34It's a lovely free kick.
04:36The header has to be.
04:40This is what Barcelona can do now.
04:42Because they've got the goal.
04:43Beautiful pass from Pedri.
04:46Firmin twisting and turning.
04:48Gets the shot away and into the side netting.
04:50Well, it was the one-two combination that Firmin and Firmin are almost finding the back of the net.
04:55And again, it's a wonderful pass.
04:57Great movement from Firmin.
04:58Great pass from Pedri.
05:00He creates an opening.
05:02Slides as he takes on the finish.
05:05Does he ever give consideration to any other decision other than shoot?
05:09Rodriguez can make.
05:09We've seen five of he subs warming up.
05:13The obvious one was bringing in Luis Vesquez, wasn't it, at half-time?
05:17Almost in here.
05:19Into the side netting.
05:20And I think the flag is up again.
05:21Yeah.
05:26Well, mouth's offside compared to the one we saw this.
05:30Dominguez Duarte into Mija.
05:32Mija clips that into Da Vinci.
05:36Da Vinci with a cross.
05:37And it will come to the back post to Satriano.
05:40It almost turned in.
05:42I think it's Mario Martin who's put it over the top from very close range.
05:46Unless it's a Koubasi clearance.
05:48We'll see it again shortly.
05:49Well, Gitafe coming very close there to getting back on terms.
05:54That's the moment they've been waiting for, isn't it?
05:58Gitafe get the ball in the box.
06:00There's bodies in there this time.
06:01They haven't been able to do that in the second half.
06:03And it is Koubasi with such a vital touch.
06:08Adam Barry was there for the tap-in.
06:10Luis Vesquez with the corner.
06:11It's headed away again by Lewandowski.
06:19Well, that's lifted the locals.
06:20They believe that they can still get something from this game
06:22and extend this run of six seasons without having lost here to FC Barcelona.
06:32Les is with the throw.
06:37Forward to Rashford.
06:39Rashford's clear here.
06:40He's being chased by Jene.
06:42It's Rashford against Soria.
06:44And Rashford scores.
06:452-0 to Barcelona.
06:46Well, we've said all season that if you just look at the numbers,
06:50then Marcus Rashford has been a success at Football Club Barcelona.
06:53Koubasi celebrates with Joan Garcia.
06:57The long ball over the top.
06:59And Rashford running into space and sending that one beyond Soria
07:04to make it Jetafe nil Barcelona 2.
07:06Football can be so cruel at times, can't it?
07:08Just a moment or so ago, Jetafe came so close to getting the equaliser.
07:14Koubasi is celebrating because he played his part in that goal.
07:18In defending that situation, which means that it's not one-all
07:23and it's not Barcelona kicking off again, it's...
07:25Do you know what?
07:26The one thing I haven't mentioned in this attack finishes.
07:32Cancelo with the cross.
07:33It's an inviting one and Casalgo should have made it three there.
07:37Affected his balance.
07:40It's possible that he was, but he still should be scoring.
07:44Abka is closest to him.
07:48You're going to get that contact.
07:50It's not an obvious foul.
07:53He should be scoring.
07:54So that's even more reason why this result is impressive.
07:59And they march to the title.
08:01Absolutely, it's one huge step closer to...
08:06Every...
08:07Every...
08:07Every...
08:07Every...
08:08Every...
