Barca's Rashford benched, late arrival unclear
""It's normal, because every three or four days we have a match," he said of his decision to leave Rashford out after his brace at St James' Park. "We also need fresh legs on the pitch.""
""Three points, three-zero, it's ok," Flick said. "Everything is good. I said to the team we have to focus on our match. We did it in both halves. "We controlled the match, got three points and scored three goals. It is not always easy to score against Getafe, but today it was good.""
"Torres said "most of the time they didn't try to do anything, just a lot of fouls," drawing a fiery response from visiting coach Jose Bordalas."
Marcus Rashford was left out of Barcelona's starting XI for the 3-0 LaLiga win over Getafe despite scoring a midweek brace in the Champions League. A source confirmed Rashford arrived marginally late for the activation session on matchday, though the lateness is described as slight and not a major issue. Coach Hansi Flick downplayed the situation, stressing regular rotation and the need for fresh legs. Flick enforces a zero-tolerance lateness policy, with other players previously penalized. Rashford came on at halftime and provided the assist for Dani Olmo's goal, while Ferran Torres scored twice.
