Getafe 1-2 Barcelona: 5 Talking Points

#2 - Paulinho silenced his critics

Getafe v Barcelona - La Liga

When Barcelona signed Paulinho from Guangzhou Evergrande in the summer, a lot was said about his transfer. He was called a 'mule' and also deemed 'not good enough' for the Catalan side by many Pundits and even the Cules.

Last night, nobody had a word to speak against him. The Brazilian saved Barcelona from dropping 2 points at Getafe, with a late striker that got even Lionel Messi clapping!

The midfielder pushed through the Getafe defence and scored past the rock-solid Guaita in the 84th minute. Barcelona fans, who were sulking when he was brought on in the 77th minute, were seen chanting his name at the end of the game.
