La Liga Shocker: Barcelona Stunned by Underdog GetafeLa Liga Shocker: Barcelona Stunned by Underdog Getafe In an upset that sent shockwaves through the Spanish footballing world, league giants Barcelona were humbled 1-0 by Getafe at the Camp Nou on Saturday. Getafe, who entered the match as underdogs, put forth a valiant performance and stunned the reigning champions. The lone goal of the match came in the 56th minute, courtesy of Enes Unal. The Turkish forward latched onto a long ball over the top of Barcelona’s defense and fired a low shot past goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Barcelona, who had dominated possession and created a number of chances, were unable to find an equalizer. The defeat marked a major setback for Barcelona in their pursuit of the La Liga title. The Catalans are now five points behind leaders Real Madrid, who have a game in hand. Getafe’s victory was their first over Barcelona since 2011 and their first ever at the Camp Nou. It also ended Barcelona’s unbeaten run of 16 matches in all competitions. Barcelona coach Xavi Hernandez was disappointed with his team’s performance. “We were not good enough today,” he said. “We did not create enough chances and we made too many mistakes.” Getafe coach Quique Sanchez Flores was delighted with his team’s victory. “This is a historic day for Getafe,” he said. “We played with heart and passion and we deserved to win.” The result has raised questions about Barcelona’s title credentials. The Catalans have struggled for consistency this season and have been reliant on individual brilliance from Lionel Messi. With the Argentine superstar set to leave the club at the end of the season, Barcelona may find it difficult to compete with Real Madrid for the league title.
