Barcelona played to a 1-1 draw with Getafe in La Liga, raising their points tally to 39 and securing third place in the Spanish league standings. Getafe, on the other hand, remains in 16th with 20 points. Barcelona’s next match is against Valencia at the “Los Compaños” Stadium on January 26, while Getafe will play Sociedad on the same day.
Barcelona’s recent form has been disappointing, with only one win in their last eight games, a statistic that severely hampers their chances of competing for the La Liga title.
Following the disappointing draw, midfielder Pedri expressed frustration and criticized the team’s attacking duo, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha, for their missed opportunities. According to reports from El Nacional, Pedri blamed the pair for the dropped points, stating, “At this level, we won’t be able to compete for La Liga, and we’re repeating the same mistakes from last season. No one is learning the lesson.”
Despite having several chances to secure a win, Lewandowski and Raphinha failed to convert easy opportunities in front of Getafe’s goal, ultimately leaving Barcelona with just a single point. Pedri emphasized the need for the duo to learn from their mistakes and take responsibility to improve the team’s results in future matches.
