Barcelona moved ever-closer to the LaLiga title, beating Getafe 2-0 to open up an 11 point gap at the top of the table following Real Madrids slip-up on Friday. Los Blancos were held 1-1 by Real Betis, opening the door for Hansi Flicks side to take full advantage, which they did courtesy of goals from Fermin Lopez and substitute Marcus Rashford. The result moves Barca to within touching distance of what would be a second successive league title, while Getafes remain in sixth spot and in contention for a European spot for next season.
