Alejandro Balde wants to continue the series

Alejandro Balde spoke to the media after the game and reacted to Barcelona’s exceptional start to the season by saying (h/t AS):

“It’s the best start you can have and we want to keep it that way. If we have the trust, things will go well.”

On Getafe’s defensive approach to the game and how Barça wanted to approach it, Balde noted: “They are a defensive team that plays their own game. We knew we had to play like that and try to tire them out and score.”

On the late chance that Getafe created and which he almost scored, the left-back said: “It would have been a great shock. We were lucky the ball didn’t go in.”

Cubarsi excited about spectacular start

Meanwhile, Pau Cubarsi, who was back in the starting lineup after a break against Villarreal last night, expressed his great joy at Barcelona’s start this season, saying (h/t Mundo Sports):

“It’s a spectacular start to the league, which is very good, and we’ll try to keep it that way.”

The young defender said about the game against Getafe: “Getafe are always a strong team defensively, it is difficult for them to concede goals. We scored the first goal and kept the result, and that’s the most important thing: the three points.

“You always learn from the games. Getafe is always waiting for you to make a mistake and you have to be focused every minute. You have to be very confident in this regard.”

Cubarsi also praised his defense partner Inigo Martinez, saying: “He is a person who helps you both inside and outside and I trust him a lot in defense. We help each other and I think we are very good.”

Finally, Cubarsi referred to the current goalkeeping situation at Barcelona and said:

“The goal is always to keep a clean sheet because the goals will come. We’re really happy that Inaki is playing, but it’s a shame what happened to Marc. However, we have complete confidence in Inaki and are at his side.”

Eric Garcia rejoices in redemption

After being sent off early in the game against AS Monaco, Eric Garcia has shown progress as a defensive midfielder in the last two games – something Flick highlighted after the game.

The Spanish international himself was happy with how he has fared since the Monaco disaster, saying:

“After the sending off, which was very unfortunate, it is very good for me to be able to play these minutes and that the team maintained the level and won.”

About the game against Getafe he said: “We knew it would be like this and that we had to do our best. Without playing our best game, we were pretty good.

“We had chances, they had clear chances, but now we have to recover well and then some on Saturday.”

“The schedule with games every three days is difficult, but the most important thing is the three points.” he further added.

Finally, Garcia emphasized the tremendous quality of the squad and said: “We know we have to do our best. We have a squad at an incredible level, there is a very good team spirit and you can see that in the results.

“Creating this competition is everyone’s job; If we all perform well, the team will be grateful for it.”
