The stage was set for a classic La Liga evening as Barcelona prepared to welcome Getafe to the Johan Cruyff Arena on September 21st. However, just two hours before the scheduled 21:00 CET kickoff, the skies opened, unleashing a torrential downpour upon the stadium.

While initial reports confirmed the match was proceeding as planned, a palpable tension hung in the air, a reminder that the situation remained at the mercy of the elements.

This dramatic turn of weather echoed events in France, where the highly anticipated clash between Marseille and PSG, slated for the same evening, had already succumbed to poor conditions. That fixture was officially postponed and rescheduled for Monday, September 22nd, due to severe weather warnings.

For Barcelona, the rain added another layer of challenge to an already unusual season. The iconic Camp Nou, their traditional fortress, remains under prolonged reconstruction, forcing the Catalan giants to adopt the smaller Johan Cruyff Arena as their temporary home. As the rain continued to fall, fans and officials alike waited to see if the show would go on.
