Xavi and Barcelona have a bad debut in LaLiga after drawing against Getafe

FC Barcelona and Getafe drew 0-0 in the first week of the Spanish league. Barca could not defeat a rival that was difficult because they had good defensive actions. Xavi Hernández was sent off for complaining to the referees.

This was a bad result for FC Barcelona because they were the favorites to win the match, plus their rival Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao and is now the leader of the tournament. Xavi Hernández was concerned because his team did not perform well.

In the first half, Raphinha was sent off and this caused Xavi Hernández to have to make changes to his tactical system. The Brazilian made a mistake and the fans of FC Barcelona criticized the footballer for his bad action.

Getafe stopped the forwards of FC Barcelona, Robert Lewandowski had no opportunities to score and in the second half Xavi Hernández gave youngsters Ansu Fati and Lamine Yamal the opportunity to play. These footballers made the team improve its performance but could not defeat their rival.
