Barcelona missed the chance to go top of the table for the second time in 10 days with a goalless draw against Atletico Madrid that puts a serious dent in the team’s title hopes.
Another big game brought another disappointing performance as Barca gave up a host of chances and really struggled to create much at the other end.
The result means Barca haven’t beaten Real Madrid or Atletico this season, while another key game against Granada was lost that really should have been won.
Of course it’s a bit of a miracle Barca are even in the title race in this transitional season but having cut the gap to two points the team has now come up short when it matters most.
