Barcelona star Joao Felix commented on his club’s role in the title race this season after beating Getafe 4-0 in La Liga on Saturday (February 24).
The Portuguese attacker scored his team’s second goal of the tie in the early minutes of the second half (53′) after Raphinha bagged the night’s opener (20′). Frenkie de Jong made sure of the points in the 61st minute, and Fermin Lopez rounded off the goals for the match in stoppage time (90+1′).
With Barcelona now placed second and five points behind Real Madrid, who have a game in hand and are yet to play this weekend, Felix said (via Tribal Football):
“We are happy. It has been a long time since we won like this. It was a calm game, scoring early and with control of the ball. We are at Barca and everyone has the quality to play. The competition is very good because everyone has to get the best out of themselves. “
He added:
“It’s my first starting game after the injury and I’m improving. The important thing is to try and things will end up going well. We put pressure on those at the top. It’s not the same as them playing without pressure if we don’t win.”
Real Madrid play their weekend’s fixture against Sevilla on Sunday (February 25). Meanwhile, Girona could also leapfrog the Blaugrana if they beat Rayo Vallecano on Monday (February 26).
