Barcelona's struggles in front of goal continue as they played out a goalless draw against Getafe on Sunday, extending their scoreless streak to three matches across all competitions.

Xavi's surprising decision to play Alejandro Balde as a left winger backfired as the youngster missed a clear-cut chance in the opening minutes of the game. The lack of creativity and clear chances continued throughout the match, with Raphinha's effort on goal being the only notable chance for the visitors.

Getafe, on the other hand, put up a strong defensive display, making it difficult for Barcelona to create chances. Although they were not able to create many chances of their own, they were able to secure a valuable point against the league leaders.

With only 11 points now separating them from rivals Real Madrid, Barcelona face a tough challenge in their upcoming match against Atletico Madrid, who are expected to provide a stern test for Xavi's men.
