After a significant wait of three weeks, FC Barcelona fans are going to once again see their team in action as the Catalans will face the Madrid side Getafe in their eighth league game today, on Saturday.
The Blaugranes completed the first phase of the new season in excellent form, putting in dominant displays in almost all of their games. With this return, Hansi Flick’s team will be looking to continue with their excellent form.
