Barca’s Koeman happy with three points from ‘difficult’ Getafe match

Although Barcelona dominated the first half with a 2-1 result, the host had to defend their advantage as the visitors improved after the half-time break.

Ronald Koeman

 

told his post-match interview

“I am very happy with the three points. It was a difficult game and we have had to suffer.”

Sergi Roberto scored the match’s opener in the 2nd-minute before Sandro Ramirez equalized for Getafe 16 minutes later. However, a 30th-minute goal from Depay 

concluded the match as a 2-1 victory for the Blaugrana

.

 

“Our game with the ball has not been so good, but psychologically it has been very important to win,” 

Koeman

added.

“We know at times we will have to suffer and play well to win the game.”

Beating Real Sociedad 4-2 and then drawing 1-1 with Athletic Bilbao before their Sunday clash with Getafe,

Barcelona

will now head to the international break on the back of an unbeaten start to the season in domestic action with seven points from three games so far, sitting fourth in the La Liga table, same points with the league leaders,

Real Madrid

.

 

The Catalans will be back in action on September 11 when they 

face Sevilla away

, three days before a Champions League clash 

with Bayern Munich on September 14
