While Barcelona might have kept their first clean sheet of the season in LaLiga at the Coliseum Alfonso Pérez, it was not for a lack of trying by the home side.

Barcelona's defence has been shaky on numerous occasions this season, and time and again in the game against Getafe, they were sliced open at the back effortlessly.

However, José Bordalás' men failed to take advantage of their chances, with strikers Jaime Mata and Angel in particular being the major culprits.

In total, Los Azulones had eight shots, with six of those being on target and while ter Stegen might have been in inspired form, they were also let down by some poor decision making in the final third.

Chances against Barcelona come at a premium, and when lesser teams in the mould of Getafe get them, the onus is on them to convert, because the Blaugrana would not be as wasteful at the other end.

That proved to be the case, as Barcelona scored with their two shots on target leaving their hosts to count their losses.
