Xavi is still unbeaten in away La Liga games as Barcelona manager - winning nine matches and drawing five

Barcelona secured second place in La Liga despite being held to a goalless draw at Getafe, who guaranteed their top-flight survival.

In a game of few chances, Barcelona had one shot on target through former Manchester City winger Ferran Torres.

All of Getafe's on-target efforts came in the first half, as both sides settled for the point they needed for their respective aims.

Barcelona will now play Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup next season.

The draw also extended Barcelona's run of away games without defeat to 15 (won nine, drawn six) - the longest current streak in the division.
