Barcelona Move Closer to La Liga Title with Win Over Getafe

FC Barcelona strengthened their position in the La Liga title race after securing a 2-0 victory over Getafe CF on Saturday, April 25, 2026.

The win sees Barcelona open an 11-point lead over Real Madrid at the top of the table, with five matches remaining in the season.

In the match played at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, Barcelona took the lead just before halftime through midfielder Fermín López, who finished off a well-worked move assisted by Pedri.

The second half saw strong resistance from Getafe, but Barcelona confirmed their dominance in the 74th minute when Marcus Rashford scored the second goal following a quick counterattack.

The victory marked Barcelona’s ninth consecutive league win, underlining their consistency as they close in on the title.

With this result, Barcelona now have 85 points at the top of the standings, holding a significant advantage over their main rivals Real Madrid, who dropped points in a 1-1 draw against Real Betis a day earlier.

Despite the defeat, Getafe remain in sixth place and continue to push for qualification to European competitions.
