Getafe 0-2 Barcelona: 5 players who impressed for the Blaugrana | La Liga 2019/20

#1 Marc-Andre ter Stegen

Ter Stegen became the first Barcelona goalie to register an assist in the 21st century

Barcelona began the game against Getafe in laboured fashion, and despite controlling a lion's share of possession, they struggled to break down a resolute Getafe defence.

Given the Catalan's lack of ideas and creativity, it came as no surprise when they opened the scoring in a less than sublime fashion.

Over the years, Barcelona have earned a reputation of playing sleek and attractive football, but there was nothing aesthetic about their opening goal against Getafe.

In scenes totally unfamiliar to Barcelona's playing style, Marc-Andre ter Stegen launched a long ball over the top of the Getafe midfield, and Luis Suarez showed great technique to lob past David Soria to put Barcelona 1-0 up.

It was route one football, but not that Barcelona nor ter Stegen cared much, as it broke the deadlock and got the Blaugrana on the way to getting all three points.

The long kick was of particular importance to the German goalkeeper, as it put him in the record books as the first Barcelona goalkeeper to record an assist in the 21st century.
