The Catalans were unable to get ahead of Girona, and the Basques were unable to get closer to the Champions League zone
Athletic And Barcelona settled amicably in the central match of the 27th round of the Spanish Examples – 0:0.
The match was not particularly spectacular; it was not full of scoring chances. The goalkeepers entered the game only a few times.
The main negative result for the Catalan giants was two injuries to the main players. Even before the break, Xavi was forced to replace injured midfielders Frenkie de Jong and Pedri.
The result was unlikely to satisfy both rivals. Athletic interrupted their ten-match home winning streak and failed to get significantly closer to the Champions League zone; their gap to Atletico Madrid is five points. Barcelona missed the opportunity to get ahead of Girona and take second place.
The blue garnets played a goalless draw for the first time since the first round. In the next championship match, Xavi’s team will host Mallorca. Athletic will go to visit Las Palmas.
