Barcelona Star Signing Reacts After First Goal in Getafe Win: ‘I knew my first would be in Camp Nou’

According to a report by Barca Universal on Sunday October 11, 2026, Anthony Gordon has expressed his delight after scoring his first goal for Barcelona during their convincing 3-0 victory over Getafe at Camp Nou.

The English winger opened the scoring early in the match, ending his wait for a goal after previously contributing five assists for the Catalan club.

Gordon needed only two minutes to make an impact against Jose Bordalas’ side. He produced an impressive nutmeg on Nemanja Gudelj before attempting a shot from outside the penalty area, which deflected off an opponent and found the net.

The goal made him the ninth Barcelona player to score this season and provided a significant confidence boost for the summer signing.

Speaking to DAZN, Gordon admitted that finding the net was important for his confidence. He also revealed his satisfaction with the reception he has received from Barcelona supporters.

“I always knew that my first goal with Barça would come at Camp Nou. I felt the love from the fans during the goal celebration,” he said.

Despite waiting for his first goal, Gordon insisted that the team’s success remained his primary concern. Barcelona’s impressive attacking performances have helped him remain patient while adapting to his new surroundings.

“The team always comes first,” he explained.

He added that he never allowed his goal drought to affect his peace of mind because he trusted that opportunities would eventually produce results.

Speaking through the club’s official media channels, Gordon also praised the football displayed against Getafe and expressed happiness about his family’s experience in Barcelona.

The winger admitted that his adaptation had progressed more quickly than anticipated. He described Barcelona as the world’s best club and praised the supporters for encouraging him during matches.

Gordon’s contribution against Getafe extended beyond his opening goal. He recorded three shots, created two big chances and completed 22 passes during an impressive performance.

Only Lamine Yamal registered more shots, while Rodri surpassed Gordon’s passing total. The statistics highlighted his growing influence within Hansi Flick’s attacking setup.

Gordon arrived from Newcastle United during the summer and strengthened his confidence further by scoring three times for England during the international break.

Now that he has broken his Barcelona scoring duck, the winger will hope to maintain his momentum and contribute more goals and assists as the season progresses.
