It was a dominant performance from the home side, who reportedly had 82% possession, and limited Getafe to just one shot on target.
Even so, the scoreline was a fair reflection of the game as Barcelona showed intent to score and converted good chances.
Anthony Gordon Scores Early Goal
Barcelona started brightly and took the lead in the second minute.
England international Anthony Gordon cut inside before his low shot was deflected into the net by Getafe goalkeeper David Soria’s fingertips.
The goal allowed Flick’s men to settle into their preferred style of play, passing the ball with confidence and restricting Getafe from having many shots on target.
The early goal also forced them to change their approach to the game, which created more gaps for the home side to exploit as the game progressed.
Gabriel Jesus Scores His First Goal in Second Half
Barcelona continued to control the game and doubled their lead in the 30th minute through an unstoppable strike from Gabriel Jesus.
The Brazilian striker scored for the second time this season after Getafe attempted to attack from the back, and forced the ball into the net with a composed finish.
It was a special goal for Jesus to score, as it came in his first start of the season, according to the report.
The 2-0 scoreline at half-time was a deserved reward for Barcelona, who had controlled most of the game and limited Getafe to just one shot on target.
Jules Koundé Scores Late Goal
The third goal of the game came in the 73rd minute as defender Jules Koundé scored from a cross by Lamine Yamal.
Koundé’s finish put the result beyond doubt and was the perfect way for Flick’s men to close out the game.
Lamine Yamal’s cross also highlighted Barcelona’s ability to switch play to the wide areas and create chances, and Koundé’s goal showed the threat of defenders who get forward at the right time.
With a three-goal lead, Barcelona were in total control of the game and managed the final 15 minutes without Getafe scoring.
Barcelona Match Historic Start Under Hansi Flick
The win extended Barcelona’s winning streak to eight games in a row in La Liga, and matched the record set by Tata Martino’s men in 2013/14.

Winning eight league games in a row is a great achievement, but to do that consistently requires more than just moments of brilliance.

The run of eight wins in a row is already a record-equalling achievement for Barcelona.
But to keep winning will be harder than ever as the league campaign progresses.
