If there was one result that both teams were hoping for going into the game, it would certainly have been a draw. A point was all that hosts, Getafe, needed to ensure their presence in Spain's top division for another season, and Xavi's Barca side only required a single point to claim a second place league finish should Ateltico Madrid have failed to beat Sevilla at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Both sides' wishes were granted in terms of the result as the scoreline read 0-0 after the final whistle. Everyone inside the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, bar the Barcelona team, celebrated as if they had the won the game as they knew that Getafe had avoided the drop. 'Los Azulgranas' also had something to smile about after news from the Wanda filtered in, notifying them that Atletico had only managed a 1-1 draw with Sevilla.
