Barcelona Get Bitter Dose of La Liga Reality from Getafe

Share:

Supercopa winners, Barcelona, have been brought back to reality by relegation threatened Getafe following a 1-1 draw between both teams in a La Liga match at the Estadio Coliseum on Saturday.

While Hansi Flick’s men came into the match with four straight wins in Cup competitions, they were without a win in their last three league matches.

Jules Kounde’s 18th minute goal looked set to change that run of form for the Catalans, but the lead did not last till half-time as Mauro Arambarri equalised for Getafe.

The home side would go on to keep their visitors at bay and earn a crucial point in their fight against relegation, while Barca fail to take full advantage of Atletico Madrid’s shock loss at Leganes earlier on Saturday.

Barcelona remain third with 39 points after 20 games, five points behind Atletico and four points behind Real Madrid, who can go top of the league with a win at home to Las Palmas on Sunday.
