Barcelona took another major step toward retaining their La Liga title with a 2-0 victory over Getafe on Saturday. The win marked their first triumph at Getafe’s Coliseum Stadium in six seasons. Fermín López opened the scoring in the 45th minute and dedicated his goal to injured teammate Lamine Yamal, who will miss the rest of the season due to a muscle injury. Substitute Marcus Rashford sealed the result in the 74th minute with a solo effort.

With five matches remaining, Barcelona extended their lead over second-placed Real Madrid to 11 points, strengthening their position at the top of the table. The upcoming El Clásico at Camp Nou on May 10 could play a decisive role in determining the league champion.

The victory ended a long drought for Barcelona at Getafe’s home ground, where they had managed only one goal in their previous five visits, resulting in four draws and one defeat. Their last win at the venue came in 2019.
