AFP, MADRID: Celta Vigo missed the chance to go top of La Liga, for a day at least, as they were held to a 0-0 draw at home to Getafe on Friday.
Ten days after thrashing champions Barcelona 4-1 and drawing level on points with Real Madrid at the top, Celta failed to capitalise on their unbeaten start to the season — four wins and three draws — in a drab affair.
A week after drawing 1-1 at Eibar, the Galicians again failed to beat a relative minnow and moved only up to second in the table ahead of the rest of the weekend’s games, below surprise early pacesetters Villarreal.
Champions League holders Barcelona, in third, could go top on Saturday if they win away to  stuttering Sevilla, who come into the match lying fifth from bottom.
