Modified Sep 17, 2017 06:17 GMT

#1 - Valverde is a genius but has a huge headache now!

Ernesto Valverde made two superb substitutions that helped Barcelona win 2-1 at Getafe. both Denis Suarez and Paulinho came off the bench to score for the Catalan side.

While Suarez took 17 minutes after coming on to score, Paulinho took just 7! The Brazilian showed everyone watching what exactly was missing for the league leaders and scored the winner.

However, things are now set to get complicated for Valverde. With Paulinho and Denis Suarez performing so well, who will he drop? Another big headache is the loss of Ousmane Dembele to a hamstring injury.

The club's record signing was taken off in the 25th minute and is now expected to be out for a few weeks.
