Lewandowski leads Barcelona to 7th straight win in La Liga

Barcelona continued its impressive form in the Spanish league by securing a 1-0 victory against Getafe at home on Wednesday. Robert Lewandowski scored the only goal of the match in the 19th minute, marking his seventh goal in as many games this season. This win not only extends Barcelona's perfect start to the season but also ties their second-best league start ever, matching the seven victories achieved at the beginning of the 2017-18 season. The club's record for consecutive wins at the start of a season remains eight, set in the 2013-14 season. The match saw Barcelona dominate possession and create several chances, but it was Lewandowski's opportunistic goal that made the difference. He capitalized on a mistake by Getafe's goalkeeper, David Soria, who failed to hold onto a high cross. This victory also highlighted Barcelona's strong offensive capabilities, as they have outscored their opponents 23-5 in the first seven matches of the season. Barcelona's coach, Hansi Flick, expressed pride in his team's performance and the support from the fans, emphasizing the strong connection between the players and supporters. The team played with a T-shirt message of support for Marc-André ter Stegen, who is sidelined with a serious knee injury. Iñaki Peña filled in as goalkeeper, showcasing the depth of the squad. Despite the loss, Getafe nearly equalized in stoppage time, indicating their resilience. However, they remain winless and in a precarious position in the league standings. Barcelona's next challenge will be against Osasuna, as they aim to maintain their winning streak.
