Madrid, Apr. 16 (BNA): Leaders Barcelona tied for the second time in a row 0-0 in La Liga, after mid-table Getafe managed to score a point in a tough match on Sunday.
Barcelona, who drew 0-0 with Girona last week, still has a good lead over second-placed Real Madrid at the top of the standings, but the draw reduced it to 11 points with nine games left in the season, Reuters reported.
Visitors Barcelona had two chances to take the lead in the 25th minute when Rafinha was slotted in but the Brazilian winger saw his shot hit the post before Alejandro Balde’s effort from the rebound was deflected.
But in the absence of injured players such as Pedri and Ousmane Dembele, two of the key creators of this season, Barcelona were straightforward in attack despite their domination of possession while their passing was not so deft.
In the second half, Barcelona striker Robert Lewandowski, the league’s top scorer this season with 17 goals, was hit with a header, while Getafe goalkeeper David Soria brilliantly tackled Ravenha.
