Robert Lewandowski missed a handful of chances and Barcelona turned in a tepid showing against their regional rivals Girona on Monday evening, failing to score for the second straight home game in the goalless draw.
The Bluagrana had their share of chances in the opening period, with Ronald Araujo seeing a flick cleared off the line and a Girona mix-up almost leading to an own goal.
Girona should have gone up early in the second half after Taty Castellanos ran through on goal, but he curled his shot wide of the post. His miss was the best chance of a forgettable second half, with a lifeless Barca struggling to create against their dogged visitors.
Lewandowski tried to change things, but missed twice and failed to shoot on a third occasion, lacking the bite that has lifted his side so often this year.
Barcelona extended their lead over Real Madrid to 13 points here, and will still win the league - but nights like this don't exactly inspire confidence in the Xavi project.
