LaLiga is back... although not quite with a bang. There were plenty of talking points, though, as Barcelona were held to a goalless draw at Getafe for the third season in a row. Both teams ended a feisty affair with 10 men, while Xavi Hernandez was also dismissed. The Barça coach then let the referees know exactly what he thought after the game. 

Sam and Rik take you through the major talking points (Toni's still Instagramming bears and moose in Canada, apologies), including: 

-- Raphinha's red
-- Araujo at right-back
-- Barça's midfield four
-- Lewandowski
-- Getafe's tactics
-- Dirty Damian
-- Referee to blame?
-- No penalty on Araujo?
-- Rik's ratings

Sam and Toni -- Rik is celebrating his birthday -- discuss Barcelona's 2-1 defeat at Celta Vigo which brought the 2022-23 season to a close, a year that ended with Xavi Hernandez's side lifting the title for the first time since 2019. 

There was not much to be gleaned from Balaidos, where Ansu Fati moved on to double figures for the season and Sergi Roberto (right-back) and Eric Garcia (pivote) failed to make strong cases for continuing in the positions they played. 

Also discussed: Vigo star Gabri Veiga, Ilka Gundogan, Lionel Messi, Barça Atletic's playoff win over Real Madrid and more.
