Barcelona dropped points for a fourth La Liga game in a row as they were held to a draw at Getafe.
Hansi Flick's side had won four games in a row in the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup coming into this game.
But they returned to the league form that had seen them pick up one point from their final three games of 2024.
Things were looking good early on when Jules Kounde scrambled in a goal after his first shot was saved bravely by David Soria.
But Mauro Arambarri levelled after Inaki Pena had parried Coba da Costa's shot into his path.
Frenkie de Jong almost won the game for Barca with a powerful shot but it was well saved by the diving Soria.
Barcelona are third in La Liga, five points behind Atletico Madrid - who lost to Leganes earlier on Saturday.
Getafe - who are unbeaten in their last five home games aainst Barca in La Liga - are one point outside the relegation zone.
