Barcelona locked horns with Getafe in front of their fans on Sunday (August 29). The Blaugrana secured a narrow 2-1 victory over their La Liga rivals, with Sergi Roberto and Memphis Depay finding the back of the net.
Courtesy of that victory, Ronald Koeman’s men now occupy fourth position in the table, having secured two wins and one draw from three games in the league this term. They are tied for the same points with the likes of Real Madrid, Sevilla and Valencia, who occupy the first, second and third spots respectively. The three teams lead Barcelona in the table due to their superior goal difference.
Memphis Depay off to a promising start at Barcelona
Memphis Depay was signed by Barcelona as a free agent from Olympique Lyon this summer. He was a talisman for the French side, recording 76 goals and 55 assists in 176 matches for Lyon.
The departure of Lionel Messi from the Camp Nou has opened up an opportunity for other attackers to become the difference makers for the team. The Dutchman appears to have grabbed his chance by the scruff of its neck.
Depay set up Barcelona’s first goal of the post-Messi era with a brilliant cross for Gerard Pique in the Blaugrana’s league opener against Real Sociedad. The attacker then bagged his first goal for the club in the 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao in the subsequent fixture. Depay has now raised his tally to two goals in three matches after scoring the winner in the clash with Getafe on Sunday (August 29).
