Barcelona 0 Getafe 0: Messi, Suarez frustrated to offer Atletico title boost

Following last weekend's 1-1 derby draw at Espanyol, leaders Barcelona were unable to return to winning ways against Getafe.

Barcelona were held to a second consecutive draw as Getafe left Camp Nou with a hard-earned 0-0 draw.

For the first time since the April 2012 Clasico against Real Madrid, Barca failed to register a shot on target during the first half of a home game in LaLiga, although Luis Suarez did have a brilliant volley ruled out for offside.

Ernesto Valverde's side belatedly shifted through the gears after half-time but it was not enough to breach some stubborn resistance from Pepe Bordalas' visitors.
