April 16, (THEWILL) – Barcelona’s recent goal drought continued on Sunday, as La Liga leaders were held to a frustrating goalless draw by Getafe.
Getafe, who are battling to avoid relegation, posed a strong challenge for the Blaugrana, with Munir El Haddadi coming close to scoring against his former team. Although Barcelona upped the tempo in the second half and had several chances, including a fantastic save from David Soria to deny Raphinha, they were unable to find the back of the net.
Barcelona will face a tough test in their next game when they take on Atletico Madrid on Sunday, while Getafe will travel to play Mallorca in their Sunday fixture. Despite the setback, Barca fans will be hoping for a return to form and a return to the goal-scoring ways that have seen them dominate the league this season.
The single point from the draw means the La Liga leaders maintain a comfortable 11-point lead over second-placed Real Madrid and remain on track for the title.
