With Napoli gaining in form, having demolished Sassuolo 6-1, followed by a confidence-boosting 2-1 defeat of Juventus, the Catalan giants needed a big win themselves to keep the hope for silverware alive.
Instead, they dropped two points, and lost two of their most important players to injury.
Frenkie de Jong and Pedri will both be out for at least six weeks.
