    Just seen a replay of Enes Unal's penalty. Perfectly executed. Marc-Andre ter Stegen went the wrong way.

    Into the last 10 minutes. Getafe are looking the more dangerous side. Their boss is frantically encouraging his players to get forward. Will there be a late twist?

    I'm not sure I've seen Barcelona this flat before. They were a great watch in the first half but they've been well off it since half time.

    Barcelona 3-2 Getafe

    As it stands, Barca are going above Sevilla into third and two points behind second-placed Real Madrid. A Getafe equaliser would really hurt them in terms of the title race. Around 15 minutes to go.

    Koeman is getting really worked up. Getafe have struggled for goals all season but they have two in the Nou Camp and Barca suddenly look nervous. The hosts need to produce a reaction.

    Ronald Koeman's reaction says it all. He's not happy at all. Barca have been flat throughout this second half but Getafe suddenly have a spring in their step.

    Messi's last hat-trick in all competitions dates back to 22 February 2020, when he netted four times in a 5-0 La Liga home win versus Eibar. He's still got another 25 minutes or so to get his third.
