"But as in last week's 6-0 rout of Valencia, the Blaugrana looked perfectly at home as Dani Olmo also scored in a convincing win over Jose Bordalas' visitors, who had started the season with three wins in four games. Barca scored a wonderful goal from their first real attack in the 15th minute."
"Raphinha's clever through-ball found Olmo, and the Spain international showed great awareness to backheel the ball into the path of Torres, who finished with aplomb. Robert Lewandowski was close to turning Pedri's centre in for 2-0, but the Blaugrana did have daylight in the 34th minute as Raphinha's flick released Torres in behind, allowing him to give David Soria the eyes and pick out the bottom-left corner."
"Their midweek Champions League hero Marcus Rashford, who replaced Raphinha at half-time, cut the ball back from the right for Olmo to slot into an unguarded net. Soria prevented Olmo from adding another soon afterwards, but that stop proved irrelevant as Barca drew within two points of pacesetters Real Madrid at the summit."
Barcelona defeated Getafe 3-0 at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, securing a third straight win in all competitions. Ferran Torres scored twice and Dani Olmo also found the net. The match was staged at the 6,000-capacity home of Barcelona B because Camp Nou remains closed pending permission after renovations. Barca opened the scoring in the 15th minute from a Raphinha through-ball and Olmo backheel to Torres, and Torres added a second in the 34th minute. Marcus Rashford set up Olmo's 62nd-minute finish after coming on at half-time. Torres has 23 goals in 51 appearances under Hansi Flick.
