“I don’t think we played well, we were off our game. We did not attack well. We did defend well," Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez said after their clash with Getafe.
 
"It is hard to attack against such a low block. We have to improve. But it was a really important win. We kept a clean sheet. We were good without the ball.
 
"But we didn’t create enough. You could feel the mental tiredness from the Supercopa. It’s three points without playing well.”
 
The last meeting between Girona and Barcelona in a league match was on 27 January 2019.

Barcelona ran out 2-0 winners over Girona in a match that was played at the Estadi Municipal de Montilivi which has hosted three Spain national team matches.
