Barcelona are struggling to make meaningful progress in their away game against Getafe, a situation that many fans find unsurprising. The home side has managed to stifle Barcelona’s usual rhythm, employing tactics that have sparked widespread criticism from supporters.
What’s particularly concerning for Barcelona fans is the aggressive and disruptive approach taken by Getafe. Jose Bordalas’s team has been extremely physical, frequently committing fouls to break up Barcelona’s flow. Beyond that, several Getafe players appear to be resorting to theatrics, exaggerating contact in an attempt to influence the referee’s decisions.
A notable incident occurred when Alena reacted dramatically after a clash with Balde, seemingly overemphasizing the severity of the collision. This kind of behavior has drawn the ire of Barcelona fans both in the stadium and online.
The frustration among Barca supporters is palpable, with many expressing their discontent over Getafe’s approach to the game. “What kind of football is Bordalas even playing?” one fan asked, highlighting their disdain for the tactics on display. Another fan described Getafe’s methods as “the darkest of the dark arts of football,” pointing to their unsportsmanlike conduct.
Some fans have taken aim at specific players, with one calling Alena a “clown” and insisting, “Balde didn’t even touch him.” Others are more concerned about the welfare of Barcelona’s players, with one supporter writing, “I’m just praying for no injuries. This is not football.”
At the half-time break, the score remains level at 1-1, but the tension is high. The hostility between the two sides has been brewing even before the match, with Getafe fans heard chanting “f*** Barca” in a video shared online ahead of the game.
Summing up the mood, one Barcelona fan shared their frustration, saying, “Get ready for another anti-football masterclass from Getafe. I hate them with every fibre of my being.” The match continues to be a contentious and heated affair, both on and off the pitch.
