    There's just no stopping Barcelona. They've now won their last 12 La Liga games and are surely destined for the title. Many thanks for your company. We are back at 12:45 GMT on Sunday for build-up ahead of Paris St-Germain's game at Troyes. Win that and PSG will be crowned champions of France for the fourth successive season. Until then...

    Lionel Messi battling to the very end. The Argentina ace leaves a couple of Getafe defenders chasing shadows on the edge of the area before the visitors just about scramble it away.

    Barcelona 6-0 Getafe

    It's a rather tame finish at the Nou Camp after another explosive goalscoring display by Barcelona but the home fans are staying to the end. They are getting ready to applaud their team off the pitch after a job well done.

    Barcelona 6-0 Getafe

    Neymar wants his hat-trick.

    Having gone close with a long-range lob, the Brazil forward is denied by Vicente Guaita after bursting into the area.

    He still has another five minutes to get his third goal.

    Around 20 minutes remaining. Barcelona have eased a little but continue to prod and probe Getafe's over-worked defence.

    Luis Suarez is not going to see any action today. Defender Gerard Pique comes off and Marc Bartra comes on as Barca make their final change. Lionel Messi and Neymar will play the full 90 minutes.

    Skullhax: Barcelona are going to use up all their goals today and Arsenal will go on to win on Wednesday.

    Barcelona 6-0 Getafe

    The points are in the bag and Luis Enrique has decided it is time to rest some legs ahead of Arsenal's visit. Andres Iniesta, who has been outstanding, and Jeremy Mathieu make way for Sergi Samper and Thomas Vermaelen.

    Arda Turan

    He missed an easy chance earlier but Arda Turan's overhead kick from inside the area has Barcelona's fans celebrating another goal.

    Arsenal beware. Everything Barca touch is turning to goals here. Can they hit double figures? There's still another half an hour left and Getafe's shell-shocked players don't know where to look.

    Barcelona 5-0 Getafe

    Can Neymar mark his return to the side with a hat-trick? The Brazil forward is well on his way. The bad news for Arsenal ahead of next week's Champions League tie is that Messi is in devastating form. His passing has been a delight to watch.

    Neymar

    Three assists for Lionel Messi, two goals for Neymar.

    Another dazzling move involving Barca's front two ends with Neymar firing into the corner of the net from inside the area.

    This is so easy for the leaders.

    Barcelona 4-0 Getafe

    Terrible miss by Arda Turan who is unmarked eight yards out but still manages to blaze wide after Messi's unselfish pass. That should have been 5-0.
