Barcelona's head coach, Hansi Flick, excluded Marcus Rashford from his starting formation against Getafe due to punctuality concerns. The England striker arrived two minutes past the scheduled time for a pre-match training session. Flick selected Ferran Torres to fill Rashford's position despite the player's recent scoring performance against Newcastle United in European competition. The Spanish forward capitalized on this opportunity by finding the net twice during the opening period. Torres received the starting role while Lamine Yamal remained unavailable through injury.

Rashford entered the match during the interval as a substitute for Raphinha. The Manchester United academy graduate contributed by providing the assist for Dani Olmo's strike that secured the team's third goal. The Times newspaper confirmed that the player faced consequences for his tardiness at the training ground. Flick previously imposed similar disciplinary measures on Raphinha the previous week for identical timing violations. The manager maintains strict standards regarding player punctuality for all team activities.
