Barcelona tied four wins in as many matches in the Super Cup and the Spanish Cup at the start of 2025, but the return to La Liga was just as painful as the end of last year.

Hansi Flick's team has failed to win a match in the Spanish league for the fourth time in a row, this time taking only a point from the outskirts of Madrid after a draw with Getafe (1:1).

Interestingly, it was the fifth match in a row that Barça did not win at Getafe's stadium.

That and today's defeat of leaders Atletico Madrid could be used by Real against Las Palmas tomorrow (16.15:XNUMX PM) and go to the top of the table, but also to a plus seven compared to their great rival from Catalonia.

On the wings of their recent Super Cup win and memorable match against Real Madrid in the final (5:2), Barça opened the match against Getafe - Pedri brilliantly opened up the home team's defense, and Gilles Kunde scores from his second attempt to make it 1:0.

However, already in the first half, Getafe brought things back to the beginning - Coba Gomes da Costa caught a volley, Iñaki Peña managed to stop his shot, but the ball was run over by Uruguayan Mauro Arambari for 1:1.

After winning the first "El Clasico" of the season at the end of October, Barcelona had six points more than Real, and starting tomorrow they could easily be down to minus seven.

Hansi Flick has brought something new, but the question is whether Barça is ready to go all the way in the championship in his first season...
