MATCH HIGHLIGHT: Barcelona 6 – 0 Getafe [La Liga]

Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez were at their brilliant best as Barcelona dispatched Getafe 6-0 to stay on course for a first La Liga title in three years.

Getafe had held Luis Enrique’s side to a goalless stalemate in December’s reverse fixture, but any hopes of another surprise result were emphatically curtailed by a devastating five-goal first-half blitz at Camp Nou.

Barca’s rout started with Messi’s cool chipped penalty and he turned provider for Suarez to make 

it 2-0 with a stunning volley in the 25th minute.

Neymar then made it 3-0 to take the attacking trio’s collective tally for the season to 100 goals in all competitions.

Xavi rolled back with the years with an excellent fourth before Suarez added his second five minutes before the break.

The superb Messi scored his 38th Liga goal of 2014-15 with an exquisite effort shortly after the break and the only surprise was that Barca failed to add to their tally.

Luis Enrique’s men have now gone 10 Liga matches unbeaten and hold a five-point lead over Real, who host Almeria on Wednesday.

It took just nine minutes for Barca to break Getafe’s resistance. Suarez’s sharp turn drew a trip from Alvaro Arroyo just inside the area and Messi confidently dinked his spot-kick straight down the middle.
