Author of a successful first performance after weeks of doubt, FC Barcelona, reigning Spanish champion, continued its rise in the standings by easily dominating Getafe at home on Saturday (4-0), temporarily recovering second place in Liga .
Xavi's men, who assured this week that his team would fight to keep their crown as long as it was "mathematically possible", came back to five points behind Real Madrid (1st, 62 points) and overtook their neighbor Girona (3rd, 56 points).
The Catalans took full advantage of the spaces left by Getafe, who tried to defend high, thanks to goals from Raphinha (21st), Joao Félix (53rd), De Jong (61st) and Fermin Lopez (90th 1).
