Wed Sep 25 21:30:06 UTC 2024: ## Barcelona Extends Winning Streak, But Loses Ter Stegen to Injury
**Barcelona secured a 1-0 victory over Getafe in a La Liga match at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, continuing their perfect start to the season. However, the match was overshadowed by the serious injury to goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who suffered a complete rupture of his right patella tendon.**
The match saw Barcelona dominate possession and create numerous chances, with Lamine Yamal particularly impressive. The teenager was instrumental in the lone goal, threading a pass to Jules Kounde, whose cross was fumbled by the Getafe keeper, allowing Robert Lewandowski to volley into an empty net.
Despite Getafe’s efforts to equalize, Barcelona held on for the win, thanks in part to the impressive performance of their young star, Yamal.
However, the victory came at a heavy price, as Ter Stegen had to be substituted after a fall in the first half. He underwent surgery on Monday, with his return date unknown.
With six wins from six games, Barcelona sits atop the La Liga table with 18 points. Getafe, on the other hand, remains in 19th position with four draws and two losses.
Despite the injury to their star goalkeeper, Barcelona will look to maintain their winning momentum as they head into their next match.
