Sunday’s football game at Coliseum Alfonso Perez pits together Getafe and Barcelona, the two teams with completely different ambitions for the upcoming La Liga season. Los Azulones are eager to secure yet another top flight survival, while Barca’s main goal is to defend their trophy. The capital club are likely to rely on their solid defence in the season opener, but preventing Robert Lewandowski and Co. from finding the net is easier said than done. Both Mauro Arambarri and Enes Unal are sidelined with injuries, while Luis Milla is a major doubt.
The reigning champions, on the other hand, aim to begin their title defence in great fashion and seeing that Xavi can count on key players for the Getafe clash, we are tempted to bet on the away side. New recruit Ilkay Gundogan is likely to make his La Liga debut against Jose Bordalas’ troops, while Ferran Torres misses out through suspension.
Highlighted Player (Robert Lewandowski):
After scoring 36 goals in 59 league games for Znicz Pruskow, Robert Lewandowski joined Lech Poznan in June, 2008. The 184-cm-tall attacker scored 18 goals in 28 appearances for the club in the 2009/2010 Ekstraklasa campaign and during the season he was on Borussia Dortmund’s radar.
The Polish forward signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga side in June, 2010 and he quickly established himself as the team’s key attacker. Lewandowski was producing excellent performances with the Millionaires between 2010 and 2014 and it has to be noted that he won two Bundesliga trophies with the club (2010/2011, 2011/2012). He participated in the 2012/2013 Champions League final with Borussia Dortmund, but the Millionaires were beaten by fellow Bundesliga side Bayern Munich in the title game.
However, he betrayed Borussia Dortmund fans in 2014 as he signed a four-year deal with the Bundesliga giants. Lewandowski impressed in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign as he scored 30 goals in 32 league games for Pep Guardiola’s troops. The Polish footballer represented his homeland at Euro 2016 in France and he scored one goal at the showpiece tournament in France.
