Already held in check by Girona last weekend, FC Barcelona was hung 0-0 at Getafe on Sunday during the 29th day of La Liga, but continues its road to the coronation, eleven points in front of Real Madrid, winner 2- 0 in Cadiz on Saturday. The Catalans dominated the game, but failed to break through the blue wall of Getafe, saved by an impeccable David Soria in his cages, like a last stop on a strike from the left of Raphinha (75th) .
Getafe even nearly snatched victory with a final strike from Borja Mayoral, which grazed the left post of Marc-André ter Stegen in the 87th. Xavi’s men, unable to score a goal for three games, could have taken cover early in the game: in the 25th minute, Raphinha had a chance to open the scoring, but his ball hit the post , then landed at the feet of Alejandro Baldé… who also hit the same post.
In addition to the offensive concerns to be resolved, Xavi will also have to monitor a small alert. In the 18th minute, Sergi Roberto asked for the substitution, visibly bothered by pain in the back of his left thigh, and was replaced by Éric Garcia. A new physical glitch, just when the four injured Barça (Pedri, Dembélé, De Jong and Christensen) will leave the infirmary.
