Pedri Gonzalez’s goal made the difference for Barcelona in their lone goal win over Getafe.
Without suspended striker Robert Lewandowski, Barcelona created few notable chances but did enough to emerge with three points to drive their bid for a first league title since 2019.
“We didn’t play well, we were lethargic, we didn’t attack well,” Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez told Movistar.
“We defended well but it is always difficult to attack such a deep sitting defensive line, but we were not polished in our game, we did not have a good game by any means and we have to improve.
“But we take an important win, three points at home and another clean sheet which is also important.”
