This glorious free kick from Xavi spared a Ronaldinho depleted Barcelona the blushes as they held Getafe to a 1 -1 draw.
Getafe’s goal came when defender Rafael Marquez’s back pass to his goalkeeper Valdes went a big cockeyed.David Guiza pounced on it and put it past Victor Valdes.(Video)
Earlier leaders Sevilla had opened the door for Barcelona to regain the top position when they went down 2-1 at Real Zaragoza on Saturday.A highlight of the game was a comical kind of a punchup between Diogo and Sevilla forward Luis Fabiano (video ) at the end of the game.
Barcelona remain two points behind Sevilla with a game in hand.
Third-placed Real Madrid also failed to close in on anyone after losing 2-0 at Deportivo La Coruna where they have not won for 14 years.(video)…..(of the goals – not 14 years…..!)
