A moment of tension arose between coach and player in the second half of Barcelona's 5-2 win over Getafe on Thursday.
Lionel Messi's two goals had helped put the hosts in a commanding position going into the break, only for Jose Bordalas' men to put them under pressure, both on and off the pitch, later.
A lot will be said about what happened when Barcelona were 3-2 up. Protecting such a slender lead, Ronald Koeman was furious that Oscar Mingueza was playing so far forward from his position on the right of the back three. The Dutch coach was so angry that he substituted the defender not long afterwards. Maybe it was a bit harsh.
Not much can put Messi off. Djene tried to push him for the first goal and got nowhere near him to get the rebound for the second. The Argentine showed his class by giving Antoine Griezmann the penalty that he'd won late on, even though he could've completed his hat-trick.
Sergio Busquets was the marvel of the Camp Nou in the eighth minute when he split the Getafe defence with a sublime pass from inside his own half. He's clearly still got plenty more to give in a Barcelona shirt.
From not getting off the bench against Real Madrid to starting against Barcelona, Take Kubo got the chance to impress at the Camp Nou. He was one of three current and former Blaugrana players in the visitors' team with Carles Alena and Marc Cucurella.
Sofian Chakla will want to forget this trip to Catalonia. The Getafe defender had a nightmarish moment when he diverted the ball past David Soria by mistake.
Clement Lenglet didn't have a great night either, picking up a yellow card and scoring an own goal in the first few minutes.

Dear Barça fans, these two players are Tammy Abraham and Hudson Odoi ... and they are two different players, not one player ... I just told you so that you can differentiate between them when you start supporting Chelsea next week ..

to be honest koeman was furious, I was also furious with the boys today. apart from the senior boys and dejong the other young boys played as if they lack experience. that was seen in the second half. koeman shouldn't have moved dejong backward, at some point jong was tired as he was over worked in the right defense wing until umtiti got composure. the mistake he did was not shaking hands with mingueza that is bad for a coach and an instructor. serve as a motivating factor to your boys. at a point pedri was not needed. pedri would have been substituted with puig or pjanic and if it was puig then moriba will move to left midfield if it was pjanic then moriba will maintain his right midfield.

Y’all talking about Koeman being harsh . If Barca had lost this game you’d ask for him to be sacked . We got 7 more finals to play so let him win them anyhow possible . These are serious times

To be honest Koeman shouldn’t have done what he did last night... We should not expect much from Mingueza but as a emergence replacement player he has played so well ... He did a lot of things that can not be done by an player in their first season in a league

I'm a big fan of koeman but he was too hash on minguesa today, the boy did well even though we were uncomfortable at the end, the boy was confused like he didn't even know what he did to deserve that from the couch, this guys are still kids they are still learning and they are learning perfectly in short time they are even better than their senior one. tolerance should be part of his (koeman) attitude. visca el Barça 🔵🔴 +3
