Just five minutes later, captain Lionel Messi pounced on a rebound inside the box and made it 3-1.
In the second half, Enes Unal of Getafe won the battle of wills in the 69th minute to send an unstoppable penalty past Marc-Andre ter Stegen and pulled one back for the guest side.
Barca’s scoring engine seemed unstoppable as Ronald Araujo scored the 4th via heading home a corner kick in the 87th minute just before Antoine Griezmann converting from the spot in the injury times to wrap the game up 5-2.
