Barcelona closes in on La Liga title without the injured Yamal

Barcelona moved closer to securing a second consecutive La Liga title with a 2-0 victory over Getafe, marking their first win at the Coliseum Stadium in six seasons. Fermín López opened the scoring in the 45th minute, dedicating his goal to injured teammate Lamine Yamal, who is out for the season but hopes to recover in time for the World Cup. Marcus Rashford, coming on as a substitute, sealed the win with a solo effort in the 74th minute. This victory extended Barcelona’s lead over second-placed Real Madrid to 11 points with five matches remaining. Despite Getafe’s strong defense, Barcelona broke through with key plays from Pau Cubarsí and Pedri González. The win was crucial as Real Madrid’s title hopes dwindled further after a draw against Real Betis.
