FC Barcelona was held to a goalless draw at Camp Nou against the nine-man Malaga as the La Liga champions played without talisman Lionel Messi and striker Luis Suarez.
Messi was ill and vomiting few hours before the game, while the Uruguayan striker is serving a suspension after picking up his fifth booking this season. Andres Iniesta is still out for injury.
But the weak Barcelona roster, with Neymar pushing on attack after attack, was equalized by Malaga's two red cards from defender Diego Llorente and midfielder Juankar.
But the outnumbered visiting team prevented the heavily favored Catalans from finding the corner of the net at the end of the 90' in regulation.
With the draw, Barca missed the chance to move on top of La Liga table, one point behind their eternal rival Real Madrid FC.
Barcelona dominated the game with 76 percent ball possession, 13 free kicks, 14 corners, and eight shots on target. But the Neymar-led team failed to convert a score throughout the game against the conservative 5-4-1 formation of Malaga.
Barca bled right at the heart of Camp Nou in front of tens of thousands of home fans.
Malaga's goalkeeper Carlos Kameni frustrate Barcelona clawing, grabbing and pushing away eight shots on target producing sensational saves.
