Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde was satisfied with their 2-0 win at Getafe.

It wasn't a great performance but it was an important win.

"It was important not to make mistakes early on like we have done in other games," Valverde said. "That was fundamental. The goal calmed us down and, from there, we imposed ourselves well. We didn't give much away and had chances to score more.

"If you want to win La Liga you have to win a lot of games away from home, not just your home games. Getafe were a tough rival, it's a hard place to come and we've played well. Now we have three days to prepare for Inter."

Clement Lenglet was sent off late on and, with Samuel Umtiti injured, it means Barcelona will be short in defence for the home game against Sevilla next weekend.

"We have players from the B team who can help," said Valverde, who's likely to pair Gerard Pique with Jean Clair Todibo.
