Barca finally won away from home after five months

On 23rd April this year, Barcelona made the trip to Mendizorroza with the intention of basically sealing the La Liga title against Alaves. 

Barcelona, as expected, won that day 0-2 which left them within touching distance of the league title. 

Up to then, no member of the Barca squad could imagine that they would not win again on the road until the end of September. 

And the thing is that win in Vitoria was the last one until Barca were victorious this Saturday against Getafe. 

More than five months passed between both wins and in that time they have suffered some major defeats. These include a 4-0 defeat at Anfield, a 2-1 loss to Valencia in neutral territory in the Copa del Rey final, a 1-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao and finally the 2-0 reverse at Granada.

Barca had gone eight consecutive away games without a row. Not good enough for a team who are fighting on all fronts. 

Now, the Barca squad and fans are hoping the win in Getafe becomes a turning point and that winning on the road becomes a routine.
