In front of the group 'azulón', the Frenchman was an authentic 'wall', cancelling the attempts of desborde of Diego Rico and Ilaix Moriba, the most whistled by the fans culé in the afternoon.
In total, the '23' completed 6 defensive actions, with 7 balloons recovered and a pair of duels won by low. Only it committed an infringement in 90 minutes and, besides, forced two faults to give break to the Barça when the Getafe looked for propiciar the error deep down culé with an unexpected high pressure.
