SportsTranscript
00:00Three other changes for Barcelona, Kubasi comes in, Balde on the left,
00:04Pedry is also given a rest and Marc Genet perhaps on the left back position,
00:11Yeu, Sola and Perez.
00:14Peeling away is Sola, found himself a bit of space.
00:23Sola retrieving very effectively and the header was on target.
00:27And it's Perez, the former Barcelona player.
00:30It was Alex Sola dispossessing LamĂn Yamal and then sending this cross.
00:35Getafe are proving themselves to be...
00:37And that Girona team that did so well a year ago.
00:44And their struggle is coming up with a follower back, don't they?
00:50Barcelona beat them 4-1 a couple of weeks ago,
00:51that's a good looking service from Uche and a presentable opportunity.
00:56Perez was coming from a marginal offside position.
01:04Yeu, excellent coordination.
01:06As you mentioned earlier, Alex Getafe have never won here in Barcelona.
01:11Four draws and 15 defeats.
01:16And Koundé goes on the overlap and sure to flap at it
01:20and an easy opportunity for Lewandowski.
01:23But Soria with the horrible error in the end.
01:29And he presented a gift for Lewandowski's 7th of the season.
01:34What a terrible mistake.
01:36A play that starts with Eric GarcĂa with that good run on the ball.
01:39The combination with LamĂn Yamal who was onside.
01:42This is Yeu, Koundé overlapping, becoming a proper fullback.
01:46The cross, the mistake and the hunter.
01:51Ready for season the 10th.
01:537th goal of Robert Lewandowski.
01:55What a terrible mistake by a really good goalkeeper as David Soria is.
02:03It's very unlike David Soria.
02:07Lewandowski just with that sixth sense, he just knows where to be.
02:12That year away on loan in Turkey with Galatasaray.
02:16He never left Barcelona even when he played for Galatasaray.
02:19Now then, Rafinha.
02:22Lovely run into that inside left channel.
02:24He's done so much damage in.
02:27And that's the thing, you give the ball into the space to Rafinha.
02:31You send the ball into the space.
02:32You don't give the ball to his feet because you want to exploit his speed.
02:37Here's a little pocket of space for Pablo Chara to work with.
02:41LamĂn Yamal.
02:45Oh, Lewandowski, somehow they've left him alone.
02:49It's not going to count.
02:55He was wrestling with Juan Berrocal.
02:58He was clearly offside.
03:07Rafinha feeding it through.
03:09What a pass indeed.
03:10And Lewandowski couldn't quite finish.
03:12Still there.
03:15A perfect description.
03:16It wasn't running over, wasn't it?
03:19And that's a save by David Soria.
03:21What a pass by Rafinha.
03:23He's expected to return by the end of October.
03:26And he will be yet another great addition to the midfield.
03:31LamĂn Yamal going for goal himself this time.
03:36First time he's really decided it.
03:37Time tackle needed to be.
03:42Back come the home team with LamĂn Yamal.
03:44It's opened up on the left foot.
03:46Oh, lovely strike.
03:49Soria.
03:50He's only 17, but this play is already a LamĂn Yamal classic.
03:54Cutting inside and then choosing to place his shot on the far post.
04:01That was looking for just a proper angle, the top corner.
04:06But then David Soria.
04:07The recent avalanche of goals we've seen from the Blaugrana
04:10seems to be drying up for now.
04:16Of course, it's the quarter of this game to go.
04:19And that will be a free kick.
04:21And there we go.
04:22Finally.
04:23It took a long time in coming.
04:27Yeah, it's an ugly challenge.
04:29And it's the second foul that he commits in just a matter of a couple of minutes.
04:34Our very own Gianinfantino González-Fuertes.
04:37Yes, he is a lookalike, isn't he?
04:42There is the free kick all along the ground.
04:44It was in the air and then dipped onto the ground from Rafinha.
04:47In the end, Soria was deceiving this one.
04:51Yeah, and it's a weird one because he dives in slow motion.
04:56But that ball was...
04:59A few months ago, they wanted to sell him.
05:06Oh, that's a hell of a hit.
05:08Right for the edge of the area.
05:11Hard to keep those down.
05:14It's a crossbar.
05:24Atleti, we were talking about them.
05:26They have a trip to Selta Vigo tomorrow.
05:282.55pm Eastern on ESPN+.
05:31You can watch that with us as that free kick is sent in.
05:34Oh, what a chance.
05:36What a chance from Eric Garcia.
05:40From a very close range.
05:42You can tell Eric is a defender.
05:44He's not used to be in these kind of situations.
05:49Lewandowski off the pitch.
05:57Oh, another opportunity to put it away.
06:01Rafinha with his head in his hands.
06:04He was seeking.
06:07Everything was perfect but the header.
06:11Perfect cross by Joe Koundé.
06:13Perfect timing of the run by Rafinha.
06:15Staying on side and getting to this ball with all the advantage in the world.
06:19But then he tried to change the direction.
06:26From deep along the ground.
06:27A chance for an equalizer.
06:29And what a chance.
06:30Mayerl.
06:31I don't think the flag came up.
06:35What a big moment that could have been.
06:37And as it is, Barcelona survive.
06:40Hansi Flick.
06:42Perfect.
06:43Seven wins out of seven.
