Barcelona are finding it difficult to make progress against Getafe in their away match, which isn’t surprising.
What is concerning for many Barca supporters is the tactics Getafe are using to disrupt their play.
Jose Bordalas’s side has been highly physical, frequently committing fouls.
In addition, Getafe players appear to be attempting to deceive the referee by exaggerating fouls.
A prime example of this was Alena’s dramatic reaction after a collision with Balde, where he seemed to overstate the impact.
Barcelona fans online are growing increasingly frustrated with the style of football being employed by Getafe in their match.
“What on earth is this football by Bordalas?” one fan questioned.
Another added, “We are witnessing the darkest of the dark arts of football from Getafe.”
One fan went as far as calling Alena a “clown,” insisting, “Balde didn’t even touch him.”
Another supporter expressed concern for their players’ safety, stating, “I’m just praying for no injuries. This is not football.”
The game is evenly poised at 1-1 at the half-time break.
Ahead of the La Liga clash in Madrid, Getafe fans were heard chanting “f*** Barca” in a video, adding to the tension between the two sides.
One Barcelona fan summed up the sentiment, saying, “Prepare for another anti-football masterclass from Getafe. I hate them with every fibre of my being.”
