    Time:90'
    • Barcelona
    • Getafe
    • 90' It's all over in the Camp Nou and Barca have failed to win in La Liga for the first time in 10 attempts. Getafe deserve credit for their work-rate, but ultimately Barca failed to create enough clear-cut chances. Guardiola will not be best pleased. Thanks for joining me!
    • 87' Keita's searching pass looks for Henry, but the former Arsenal man can't quite stretch to bring the ball down. Barca are running out of time.
    • 82' Another change for Getafe. Casquero makes way for Fabio Celestini.
    • 80' WHAT A SAVE!!! Pique meets a left-wing corner from Xavi and sends a header rocketing towards the top corner...but Abbondanzieri makes a spectacular save to deny him.
    • 79' Keita whips over a delightful cross from the left, but Henry can't beat his defender to the ball. It's all Barca now.
    • 73' Sylvinho is replaced by Gudjohnsen as Pep Guardiola looks to take all three points.
    • 72' GOOOOOAAAAALLL!!!! Seydou Keita heads home a right-wing cross from Alves and Barca are level. Keita was unmarked and had the simpliest of tasks. You'd have to fancy the home side to go on and win this now.
    • 70' Albin collects a loose ball and lets fly from 25 yards...it's an easy save for Valdes but he lets the ball slip through his fingers. Fortunately for the keeper, it bounces just wide of the post.
    • 68' Grappa, a defensive midfielder, comes on for Getafe to replace the impressive Licht.
    • 66' Eto'o goes in the book. It's not clear why, but it could possibly be down to his heated tone towards the referee.
    • 65' ANGEL WITH A CHANCE FOR GETAFE...but his shot is just past the post.
    • 64' Change for Getafe. Granero comes off, to be placed by Davis Cortes.
    • 62' Xavi wings over a corner from Barca's right and PIQUE HEADS JUST WIDE!!!
    • 60' Getafe break quickly, but Pique is on hand to make a fine saving tackle.
    • 57' Henry immediately involved, racing behind the full-back on the left and sending over a dangerous cross. Barca win a corner, but Getafe clear.
    • 56' Hleb is replaced by Pedro for Barca, with Henry on for Bojan.
    • 53' Another Barca attack breaks down, this time Eto'o can't control a high pass. The final ball is lacking.
    • 48' Bojan gets forward, but he gives the ball away in an advanced position. Sloppy stuff from the youngster.
    • 46' We're away with the second half!!!
    • 45' Half-time in Barcelona and the home side go into the break behind!! Back in 15!!
    • 41' Lucas Licht becomes the third Getafe man in the book, after a cynical foul on Bojan.
    • 39' ETO'O HITS THE BAR!! The Cameroon international set himself, before curling one from just outside the box. Barca are getting closer.
    • 35' SYLVINHO!!! WHAT A SHOT!!! The Brazilian international lets fly from 25 yards on the left corner of the box, and Abbondanzieri is forced to tip the ball past the post.
    • 31' Bojan gets a chance after a free-kick deflects off the wall...but he blasts over the bar from just inside the box.
    • 29' It's all pretty quiet in the Camp Nou. Barca fans are not known for their patience and their side are not quite at the races so far. Granero picks up a yellow for Getafe for a cheeky handball.
    • 25' Getafe are counter-attacking with confidence. Gavilian is the latest to threaten, but his left-foot shot catches a deflection and Valdes gathers with ease.
    • 22' Gavilan catches Xavi with a nasty challenge and deservedly goes in the book.
    • 19' GOOOOOAAAALLLLLL!!!!! Getafe lead and it's Manu with the goal!!! The striker latches on to a deflection off Pique and curls home an exquisite shot beyond Victor Valdes from 25 yards! 1-0 to the visitors!
    • 16' Bojan with a chance to cross on the right, but Getafe goalkeeper Roberto Abbondanzieri collects comforably.
    • 14' Getafe are defending pretty well so far, and Barca have yet to create a clear opening.
    • 11' Sylinho with some lovely work on the left for Barca, but his cross is cut out at the near post.
    • 8' Corner for Getafe on the right, but Barca clear comfortably. Xavi is looking sprightly in midfielder for the league leaders.
    • 5' Dani Alves goes through the back of Gavilan and earns himself an early booking.
    • 3' It's Getafe who start the brighter, keeping the ball away from Barca to the whistles of the home crowd.
    • 1' And we're away in Spain, with the pitch looking an absolutely superb condition...perfect for stylish, attacking football!
    • - Team news: Lionel Messi is not included in the Barcelona squad. Bojan Krkic, Samuel Eto'o and Alexander Hleb represent Barca's three-prong forward force. Thierry Henry and Eidur Gudjohnsen are both on the bench.
