(Reuters) - Leaders Barcelona were held to a second straight 0-0 draw in LaLiga after mid-table Getafe managed to take a point in a hard-fought game on Sunday.
Barcelona, who drew 0-0 with Girona last weekend, still have a healthy lead over second-placed Real Madrid at the top of the standings but the draw cut it down to 11 points with nine games left in the season.
But in the absence of injured players such as Pedri and Ousmane Dembele, two of their primary creators this season, Barca were blunt in attack despite dominating possession while their passing was not as slick.
