Barcelona eased past Getafe 3-0 at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, with Ferran Torres netting twice to keep the Catalan side firmly in the La Liga title hunt.
The hosts dominated possession from the start despite torrential rain making for slick conditions. Getafe, meanwhile, arrived with their best points haul at this stage of a season. However, they were quickly pushed onto the back foot.
After a bright run from Pedri was halted by a last-ditch block, Barça found the breakthrough moments later. Raphinha’s clever ball and Dani Olmo’s backheel set up Torres for a composed finish. The forward then doubled his tally before halftime, latching onto another pass from Raphinha and firing low past goalkeeper David Soria.
Robert Lewandowski went close himself while Olmo impressed with a busy display. Although it was Torres who stole the show as Barcelona collected another routine home win.
