On Sunday, Ferran Torres gave an amazing performance, scoring twice to help Barcelona simply defeat Getafe 3–0 in their La Liga 2025–26 match. Continuing his excellent form under Hansi Flick, Dani Olmo also discovered the net and recorded an assist, as the Catalan side amazed once again at their temporary home ground.
Barcelona remain undefeated and holds second place in the league rankings with 13 points thanks to the win. Having won Espanyol the day before to keep a perfect start to the season, Real Madrid leads by just two points. Barcelona played in front of a small crowd of 6,000 at their training complex in Sant Joan Despi because of ongoing construction at Camp Nou, where rain did not slow down the team’s tempo. Barça demonstrated their squad depth and control from the opening whistle, even though rising star Lamine Yamal was sidelined for a third straight game due to injury.
In the 15th minute, Torres scored, giving another opportunity to head the line ahead of Robert Lewandowski in Flick’s squad rotation. From a fluid pass sequence came the aim, which ended in Olmo’s wonderful back-heel, allowing Torres to complete clinically past Getafe goalie David Soria. With perfect timing, the Spanish striker added a second in the 34th minute to beat the offside trap. Raphinha’s perfect pass landed him striding, and Torres skillfully sent the ball into the bottom net corner.

Torres almost finished his hat-trick right before halftime. He saw his shot ricochet off the crossbar after rounding the goalie, but discovered an open goal.
With four goals in five league games now, Torres ascends to second on the La Liga top scorer chart just beneath Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe. Barcelona kept their dominance into the second half. Rested after his remarkable Champions League performance against Newcastle midweek, Marcus Rashford entered as a replacement and promptly made his presence known. His immediate influence helped maintain pressure on Getafe’s defense and supported Olmo’s well-taken goal that sealed the outcome.
