Getafe will be the first test for Barca after the Blaugrana declared winning away matches their new top priority.


Coach Frank Rijkaard is confident that FC Barcelona stop dropping vital away points from the Getafe match, which the Dutchman sees as a must-win match for the Catalan giants. Barca remain second in the La Liga table and a point behind leaders Real Madrid. Were Barca not to have dropped vital away points, the Blaugrana would have been a distant first ahead of all other teams. Rijkaard says of the forthcoming match:

We are well organised and that the side is working well. Now all we need to do is make the difference by scoring goals at the other end.

On Getafe team itself, Rijkaard says:

They are playing well at home. They have not let in many goals and they are well organised and, lately, they have found some form. It will be an interesting game because they want to continue their run and we want to win too.
