Barcelona 3-0 Getafe: Eighth straight win

Barcelona beat Getafe 3-0 at Spotify Camp Nou in La Liga on Saturday 10 October 2026, with Anthony Gordon, Gabriel Jesus and Jules Koundé scoring. The victory maintained Hansi Flick’s perfect league start and matched the club record of eight wins in its opening eight league matches. Gordon’s first Barcelona goal arrived inside the opening two minutes, giving the hosts an immediate advantage after the international break.

The early goal changed the demands on Getafe before the visitors could establish a settled spell. Gordon beat defenders near the edge of the penalty area and his shot went in with a deflection off Mario Martín. The finish rewarded his direct running and ended his wait to score for Barcelona. Getafe now had to find a way to recover while still dealing with the home side’s pressure.

Barcelona continued to create openings through Dani Olmo, Gavi and Eric García, with David Soria making important saves. The goalkeeper’s work kept the margin at one for a time, so the rapid breakthrough did not automatically produce a comfortable score. Gordon remained a threat on the wing, while Getafe struggled to turn their periods with the ball into sustained pressure around Barcelona’s penalty area.

Gordon and Jesus establish the lead

Gabriel Jesus extended the lead around the half-hour mark on his first start for Barcelona. He pressed the Getafe defence, won possession and drove into the area before finishing across goal. The sequence connects the goal directly with his work without the ball: the opening was created by challenging the visitors’ build-up rather than waiting for a teammate to deliver a finished chance in front of goal.

Jesus’ contribution also showed how Barcelona used their attacking options with Raphinha absent. Gordon produced the first breakthrough and the Brazilian supplied the second, giving Flick goals from players outside the most familiar scoring combination. That is a specific benefit demonstrated by this match. It does not establish that missing an important attacker has no cost, but the replacements made their opportunities useful on this occasion.

Getafe began the second half with greater attacking intent, and Johan Mojica threatened soon after the restart. Barcelona then regained control of the ball and continued to find chances. Jesus went close from Gerard Martín’s cross, Olmo tested Soria again and Lamine Yamal became increasingly influential. The 2-0 interval lead allowed the hosts to pursue another goal while maintaining a margin against any brief Getafe response.

Koundé supplied the third after Yamal delivered a cross for him to convert. It added a different scorer to the two forwards who had established the lead and ended Getafe’s remaining hopes of a recovery. Yamal also threatened to add another late on, but the score stayed at 3-0. Barcelona finished with a clean sheet and three separate successful routes to goal: an early individual effort, pressure on the defence and a delivered cross.

Eight wins match Barcelona’s best league start

The result equalled the eight-win league opening recorded under Gerardo Martino in 2013/14. Barcelona’s confirmation on Sunday put the new sequence alongside that earlier campaign, while the Getafe victory supplied the eighth result needed to match it. The comparison is specifically about the start of the league season. It does not claim a new outright national record or treat all competitions as the same measure.

There were personal milestones within the team performance. Gerard Martín made his 100th Barcelona appearance, while Koundé reached 194 matches and moved past Éric Abidal as the French player with the most appearances for the club. Koundé marked that occasion with a goal. Those details add context to the finish without changing the main reason the match mattered: Barcelona kept their opening league sequence perfect.

The points came from maintaining an advantage established almost immediately, then adding goals through different players. Getafe’s brief improvement after the interval could not undo Jesus’ first-half finish, and Koundé’s goal removed the remaining uncertainty. For Flick, the match provides a concrete example of the squad sharing attacking responsibility after a long international break, with Gordon’s first goal and Jesus’ pressing central to the early separation.
