"We wanted to win and we had chances to win. I'm very disappointed that we could not score more goals," Flick stated in the post-match press conference.

"You can see what it's like to play here in Getafe. They defend well. We created chances, but we weren't on target. We have to keep going. I repeat that we had chances, especially in the first half. After that, I think we lacked a bit more passing accuracy."

Flick also commented on the intense atmosphere at the stadium, which has proven to be a challenging venue for Barcelona in recent years.

"There was a lot of emotion in this stadium, in all the actions, in the contacts. I have never experienced anything like this before. It's something new for me and I have to get used to it," he said.

This draw extends Barcelona’s winless run at Getafe to five seasons. The result leaves Barcelona in third place with 39 points, trailing second-placed Real Madrid by four points and league leaders Atletico by five.
