Official: Barcelona announce squad for Getafe clash in La Liga | OneFootball

FC Barcelona are set to return to La Liga action tonight for the first time in 2025, following a disappointing end to 2024, which saw them suffer a painful defeat against Diego Simeone’s Atlético Madrid.

However, the Catalans have started 2025 in scintillating fashion under Hansi Flick, delivering a string of impressive performances. Their year kicked off with a commanding 4-0 victory over UD Barbastro, setting the tone for a strong resurgence.

Barcelona followed that up with a clinical 2-0 win against Athletic Club, securing their place in the Spanish Super Cup final. In the highly anticipated showdown, they made a statement by thrashing arch-rivals Real Madrid 5-2 to lift the trophy.

The momentum continued as they swept past Real Betis with another dominant 5-2 victory, earning a spot in the Copa del Rey quarterfinals.

Hansi Flick’s Barcelona appear unstoppable as they aim to carry this blistering form into the La Liga campaign. However, their next challenge won’t be easy, as they travel to Estadio Coliseum to face José Bordalás’ Getafe in a tricky away fixture.

For this encounter, Barcelona have announced their squad, which includes two notable changes from the squad named in their previous game against Real Betis.

Andreas Christensen has finally received medical clearance and returns to the squad after spending the entire first half of the season on the sidelines. Additionally, Wojciech Szczęsny is back in contention, having missed the previous Copa del Rey match due to suspension.

On the other hand, Ansu Fati remains absent for the fourth consecutive game despite being fully fit. Hansi Flick’s decision to omit the young forward appears to send a clear message: Fati does not feature in his plans and may need to explore options away from the club.

The full squad announced by Barcelona for this game is as follows:

Goalkeepers:

Defenders:

Midfielders:
