Hannibal Lecter inspires a terrifying striker: Barça-Getafe hot takes

BarcelonaThe international break has been a good one for Barça. Since returning, they've had three consecutive wins, playing much more expressively than before the break. Against Getafe served to win 3-0 With two goals from Ferran Torres and another from Dani Olmo. Here are some quick notes from the match:

Popcorn for Johan Cruyff. Let Bordalás come visit you at home on a Sunday night. It gives you the same excitement as a neighbor who's left their keys and asks for shelter until their partner arrives, who's having dinner. And even more so if the day's adverse weather conditions have confirmed that summer is over. But everything takes on an interesting tone if Hannibal Lecter is in the box at the Johan Cruyff stadium. Since the return from the international break, Barça's players haven't needed much inspiration, but just in case, they counted on the presence of actor Mads Mikkelsen, who played the murderous psychiatrist in the series. Hannibal.

If tomorrow was the Champions League final. Getafe would have experienced terror when, in the 15th minute, Barça used a trick of illusion to make the ball disappear from the eyes of the Getafe defenders. Dani Olmo's backheel pass and Ferran Torres' volley left several corpses on the pitch. Later, Ferran would also make the second and become a serial killer. For those of us who suffer from anxiety and insecurities, the Foios-born striker should give us the phone number of the professional who helped him mentally expand the length of the goal from 3 to 30 meters. If Barça were playing in the Champions League final tomorrow, who would you start as your starting center forward? Ferran or Lewandowski?

A disturbing slip. Rashford failed when Flick was committed to his cause. After justifying his move to Newcastle, he was substituted against Getafe at the Johan Cruyff Stadium due to a delay in training, according to reports. Sports WorldYou can steal a kilo of almonds from Flick's pantry and he'll turn a blind eye, but he'll never overlook a delay. Being Flick's friend must mean living under constant tension. However, this time Rashford's punishment only lasted 45 minutes. Be that as it may, the Englishman would do well not to make any more mistakes, however small, that would be reminiscent of the nights of off-field blunders he left in Manchester.

The ant Gerard Martín. When he appeared in the photo of Inter Milan's goal that sealed the Champions League semi-final tie in extra time, many of us thought it would be the last time we'd see the Esplugues de Llobregat native playing a top-level match in a Barça shirt. He looked like a summer loan or transfer target. But we were wrong, and at the start of this season, Gerard Martín continues to appear in new photographs., in this case cheerful, dressed in blue and red. His way of raising the bar is so discreet and efficient that he can enter the neighbor's kitchen (the one with the keys) without them noticing.
