Barcelona failed to extend their lead at the top of La Liga to 15 points as they were held to a goalless draw by Girona at home.
The match saw Robert Lewandowski squander a golden opportunity to score within four minutes of kickoff, sending his shot over the crossbar.
Girona’s goalkeeper, Paulo Gazzaniga, who is currently on loan from Fulham, made several excellent saves throughout the game, including one to deny Raphinha at his near post.
Taty Castellanos also missed a chance to score for the visitors. Despite the frustration of failing to secure a win, Barcelona only dropped points at home for the third time this season.
Additionally, Xavi’s team was able to increase their lead over Real Madrid to 13 points in the league standings after their title rivals were defeated by Villarreal on Saturday.
