VIDEO: Were Getafe robbed against Barcelona at the final whistle?

Controversy marred the end of Getafe's 0-0 draw at home to Barcelona on Saturday that undoubtedly left supporters of Cosmin Contra's side fuming.

After Andres Iniesta, who was the Catalan club's last man back, gave up possession of the ball to present Pablo Sarabia with a goal-scoring opportunity, match official Inaki Bikandi Garrido blew his whistle to signify the end of the fixture.

It's hard to tell whether or not Iniesta stopped chasing Sarabia because of the whistle, and we shouldn't forget that Barcelona were denied an obvious penalty earlier in the match, but Getafe's players probably have the right to feel like they were done wrong.
