Barcelona faces a major battle to potentially win the La Liga title this season.
The Blaugrana’s winning start to 2025 ran into an old enemy, Getafe, who drew 1-1 in Madrid.
A fourth consecutive draw at the Coliseum Stadium highlights the difficulty Barcelona have in achieving victories against the resilient hosts.
Jules Kounde’s early goal was canceled out by Mauro Arambarri’s equalizer before the break and the visitors failed to take a step forward after the restart.
A draw in Madrid means Barcelona will end the night five points behind leaders Atlético Madrid, who lost in Leganés.
The lead now lies firmly with their title rivals and midfield star Pedri admitted they may need to win their remaining 18 league games to stay in the race.
“We probably have to be perfect and win all the remaining games to be able to recover in La Liga,” he said at the end of the game.
“It is always difficult to play against Getafe. They defend with a low block. It’s complicated. But we should have defended our advantage better.”
Barcelona return to UEFA Champions League action in midweek, aiming to seal a place in the last 16, visiting Benfica on January 21 before hosting Valencia in the league five days later .
