La Liga | Messi double powers Barcelona to big win over Getafe
The Hindu
The win took Barca back up to third place on 68 points, five behind leaders Atletico Madrid but with a game in hand.
Lionel Messi scored twice as Barcelona crushed Getafe 5-2 on Thursday to stay in the hunt for the La Liga title. Messi gave Barca an early lead with the help of a pin-point pass from Sergio Busquets but Getafe pulled level with an own goal by Clement Lenglet. The visitors then conceded a calamitous own goal when Sofian Chakla’s backpass deceived keeper David Soria and trickled over the line.More Related News
