93'FT: Barca 5-2 Getafe!!! All over at the Camp Nou and it was quite straight forward. Two goals from Messi and a Chakla own goal gave Barca a 3-1 lead after an own goal by Lenglet had drawn Getafe level. Barca were cruising, but an Unal penalty brought Getafe back into it. Araujo and a Griezmann penalty in the closing stages made it five.
Goaaaaal from a penalty!

45'HT: Barca 3-1 Getafe! Half-time at the Camp Nou and Barca are cruising. Messi was denied by the bar early on, but he then scored in the 8th minute. A Lenglet own goal drew Getafe level, but a crazy own goal involving Chakla and the keeper gifted Barca the lead. Messi then struck again minutes later to give the hosts a two goal cushion.
