Barca beat Getafe 2-0, edge closer to La Liga title

The Catalan side increased their tally to 85 points, opening an 11-point gap on rivals Real Madrid, who dropped points in a 1-1 draw with Real Betis.

Title within reach

Barcelona now need just five more points to mathematically secure the title, with five matches to go. A decisive clash against Real Madrid on May 10 could prove pivotal in sealing the championship.

Goals seal comfortable win

Goals from Fermín López, who scored just before half-time (45), and substitute Marcus Rashford (74) secured a relatively comfortable victory, as Getafe failed to seriously threaten Barcelona’s goal.

Key absences and momentum

Barcelona played without injured youngster Lamine Yamal and Brazilian forward Raphinha, yet still secured their 28th league win and fourth consecutive victory across all competitions.
