After the frustrating result at Estadio Coliseum, Barca's star midfielder Pedri practically ruled themselves out of the title race as he admitted the two Madrid clubs, now at the top of the table, are favourites to win La Liga.
WHAT PEDRI SAID
Speaking to reporters after the Getafe clash, Pedri said: "We probably have to be perfect and win all the remaining games to be able to recover in La Liga. It’s always difficult to play against Getafe. They defend with a low block. It’s complicated. But, we should have defended our lead better."
