Barcelona were held to a goalless draw at Getafe on Sunday as their winless run in all competitions stretched to three games.

Xavi Hernandez’s side remain 11 points clear of Real Madrid at the top of LaLiga, but their race to a first league title since 2019 has been slowed down by backtoback stalemates in the league.

Getafe, who came close to winning the game late on through Borja Mayoral, edge four points clear of the relegation zone after holding the leaders at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez.
