Getafe were also reduced to 10 men in the 57th minute when Jaime Mata was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Ronald Araujo.

Despite playing with a man advantage for the majority of the match, Barcelona were unable to find a breakthrough. Robert Lewandowski came closest to scoring for the visitors, but his header was cleared off the line by Alvarez in the 63rd minute.

Barca manager Xavi Hernandez was also sent off in the 71st minute for complaining about a decision.
