[WATCH] Ferran Torres marks Barcelona return with Getafe opener
Barcelona have roared back into La Liga action with the defending champions 1-0 up early on at home to Getafe.
Despite the frustration of having to once again play at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, Hansi Flickβs side have responded positively, as they aim to chase down Real Madrid.
A midweek win in their UEFA Champions League opener away at Newcastle United meant team changes for Flick to try and maintain La Blaugranaβs unbeaten start to the league campaign.
Two of those changes paid off immediately for Flick as Dani Olmo and Ferran Torres linked up on 15 minutes.
Despite scoring twice at St. Jamesβ Park, Flick opted to bench Marcus Rashford, with his replacement Torres popping up to bury Olmoβs cheeky back heel.
"Perfection from Barcelona!" ποΈ

Torres is looking to force his way back into Flickβs starting XI after beginning the campaign as the central attacker due to Robert Lewandowskiβs injury.
Two goals in four starts kept him in that slot, but Lewandowskiβs return has forced a change, with the former Valencia man starting out wide against Getafe.
A key breakthrough goal in a vital game could be the perfect response to his benching at Newcastle in favour of Rashford.
