Barça failed to seize a prime opportunity to close the gap at the top of LaLiga after Atlético’s recent setback, drawing 1-1 against Getafe at the Coliseum. Despite facing a typically tough opponent, Barça initially seemed to have control of the match.
The Catalans took the lead early on when Koundé capitalized on a mistake by the Getafe goalkeeper, but their joy was short-lived as Arambarri equalized before halftime.

The match, defined by positional play and Barça’s lack of efficiency, ended in a disappointing draw—far from what Barça needed to maintain their positive momentum. It’s hard to reconcile this performance with their dominant display against Real Madrid in Arabia just a week ago.
Lamine Yamal, visibly frustrated by the result, voiced his concerns. Despite his youth, the academy product has earned enough respect to make demands, and his request has caught the attention of President Joan Laporta.

Yamal’s desire is straightforward: he believes Barça urgently needs a top-tier striker, especially given the team’s struggles in front of goal against Getafe.
Yamal specifically wants Marcus Rashford, who meets the profile of a forward capable of contributing both as a left winger and a center forward.
This versatility is seen as crucial for when Lewandowski, like tonight, is not at his best. In fact, Lewandowski was substituted around the 80th minute for Ferran Torres.
Rashford’s potential move to Barça now appears to be a key focus for the club. The English forward is reportedly eager to join, especially after learning of Yamal’s wish to play alongside him. The club is listening closely, and plans for a transfer are already taking shape.
