Dani Olmo scored and set up one of Ferran Torres’ two goals with a neat backheel flick as Barcelona beat Getafe 3-0 in the Spanish league on Sunday.
It was the second straight game for Barcelona at its training facility as the newly renovated Camp Nou Stadium lacks the required permits.
Olmo’s clever flick inside the area led to Torres scoring for Barcelona in the 15th minute, and Raphinha‘s assist to Torres in the 34th allowed the Catalan club to increase its first-half advantage.

Olmo then closed the scoring with a shot from near the penalty spot in the 62nd after a setup by substitute Marcus Rashford.
The victory moved defending champion Barcelona within two points of leader Real Madrid, which defeated Espanyol 2-0 on Saturday.
“It was important to come away with the three points,” Torres said.
The match was played at the Estadi Johan Cruyff, which typically hosts the Barcelona women’s team and men’s reserve and youth squads. The club had already played there in its home opener – a 6-0 rout of Valencia on Sept. 14.
Getafe, which had won three of its first four matches, dropped to eighth place.
