Overview

• Spanish reports said Marcus Rashford arrived slightly late to a morning team meeting, and he was not named in Barcelona’s starting XI against Getafe.
• Hansi Flick declined to label the move disciplinary, saying he needed fresh legs and would manage Rashford’s minutes during a congested run of fixtures.
• Rashford entered at half-time and set up Dani Olmo for Barcelona’s third, adding to his midweek Champions League brace at Newcastle.
• Ferran Torres scored twice in the first half as Barcelona won 3-0 at the Estadi Johan Cruyff to stay two points behind leaders Real Madrid.
• Flick has enforced punctuality standards this season, with previous non-starts for Raphinha, Jules Koundé and Iñaki Peña, and he noted Raphinha was withdrawn at the break due to a yellow card.
