Barcelona remain the early pace setters in La Liga despite being tested at Getafe on Saturday.
The Blaugrana fell behind in Madrid and lost Ousmane Dembele to a serious injury but a late Paulinho winner delivered the three points and saw them record their fourth league win out of four.
They face another quick turnaround ahead of Tuesday night's return to Camp Nou to face Eibar.

GAME PREVIEW
Plenty has gone wrong for Barcelona this summer and the serious injury suffered by Ousmane Dembele is just the latest blow to Ernesto Valverde.
The young Frenchman, who could cost the Blaugrana up to €150 million to sign from Borussia Dortmund when all is said and done, is set to be out for as long as four months.
But through the setbacks Valverde has, so far, ploughed on and ensured his team builds confidence at a time when it is needed with a winning start to the season.
There are plenty of concerns: the rotation that the likes of Andres Iniesta and even Lionel Messi would benefit from is yet to really materalise and Luis Suarez, coming off an early injury, is out of form.
Now, the absence of Dembele can be added to the pile.
But Barca are, at least, winning games and have already put four points between themselves and Real Madrid in La Liga.
There is nothing they can do about Dembele for now but a home match against Eibar, a club overachieving massively by their mere presence in this division alone, would seem a good opportunity to lean on their squad depth and get Suarez back on the scoresheet.
