Barcelona scored with ease in the home opener, but it was made to suffer by the fierce Athletic Club pressing on the second weekend of the season. If not for Memphis Depay’s cracking first goal for the club, Barcelona may have even left the San Mames with a defeat. But the 1-1 final draw will likely be seen as a positive result come season’s end.
Back at home for Matchday 3 next Saturday, goals might be easier to come by against a Getafe side that is expected to sit back and play for a draw. But Getafe’s new head coach, Michel, has promised a more attack-minded Getafe this season, which could make the match trickier than anticipated.
