Barça boost attack with Anthony Gordon's first goal

Anthony Gordon opened the scoring in the second minute, offering Barcelona its eighth consecutive victory in the Liga and confirming his quick integration after his €80 million transfer. The goal boosted the confidence of Hansi Flick’s team and gave a decisive boost to the match against Getafe.

An early goal that opens the victory

On Saturday, FC Barcelona beat Getafe 3-0, the first goal being scored by Gordon in the second minute. The other two goals came from Gabriel Jesus and Jules Kounde, while Raphinha was unavailable. This win extends the club’s run of success in the Liga.

A signing already decisive

Signed this summer from Newcastle for €80 million, Gordon had already won over the Catalan supporters despite his lack of goals. In seven Liga appearances, he has delivered five assists, already showing his offensive impact. His speed, dribbling and ability to create chances convinced Hansi Flick even before his first goal.

The confidence described by the player

After his goal, Gordon said: “I just scored. I’m really good when I’m driven by adrenaline. When I score, I rarely have bad matches afterwards, because I enter a state of confidence where I feel untouchable.” He added later that he never worries if the ball doesn’t go in, claiming he sleeps peacefully knowing that goals always end up coming.

Reactions from the Spanish media

Some Spanish media highlighted that the new signings are not dazzling stars, but imaginative solutions. They praised Gordon’s speed, his dribble to unbalance defenses and his ability to finish with both feet, qualities every coach dreams of having. Individual ratings placed him at 8.3 according to one source, while another gave him a 9.

A collective performance and the upcoming challenges

Beyond Gordon’s goal, Gabriel Jesus scored the second goal and Jules Kounde the third, showing the depth of Barcelona’s attack. The club now prepares to face Betis, Paris Saint‑Germain and Real Madrid in the upcoming Liga fixtures. Gordon will have the chance to test his own theory on confidence and efficiency.

If this first goal confirms his decisive role, the upcoming matches will give Gordon the chance to consolidate his influence and continue Barcelona’s winning streak.
