Barcelona 2 - 2 Getafe: Getafe Extinguishes Barca Title Hopes

Barcelona's title hopes took a blow as Getafe scored an injury-time equaliser to earn a 2-2 draw at the Nou Camp.  The champions, who paid tribute to ex-manager Tito Vilanova before kick-off, are three points behind leaders Atletico Madrid having played a game more. Atletico face Levante on Sunday.

Lionel Messi put the hosts ahead before Angel Lafita equalised for Getafe.  Alexis Sanchez put Barcelona back in front but Lafita scored his second in stoppage time to stun the Nou Camp.

A minute's silence was observed before the match, while Barcelona players' shirts displayed a tribute  to Vilanova, who died on April 25 after a long battle with cancer
