Lionel Messi bagged his 25th LaLiga goal of the season as Barcelona saw off Getafe to close the gap on title rivals Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid.
The Argentine superstar opened the scoring after just eight minutes with an excellent finish having engineered space in Getafe's box to fire in the opener.
Barcelona defender Clement Lenglet and Getafe's Sofian Chakla each put the ball in their own nets before Messi bagged Barca's third to tuck away a rebound for an easy goal.
The visitors made Ronald Koeman's side work for the victory, though, with Enes Unal scoring a penalty with 20 minutes to go in a nervy end to the game at the Nou Camp. However, Ronald Araujo put the game beyond doubt as Barca moved to within four points of league leaders Atletico with a game in hand.

Messi with another 10.0 rating in his career in this match. His first fierce shot that racked against the goal mouth gave me goose pimples. I wonder how that keeper felt. This match showed the diff b/w Messi and C Ronaldo. Can you imagine CR7 giving up a chance to get a hattrik that will dominate the headlines? Imagine it without sentiment 🤔🤔🤔🤔. I rest my case

This is how you know a true leader, don't by noise making. Messi could have taken the penalty to go for hattrick, but opted to give it to Griezmann who really needed a goal.

Messi has shown why he's the captain of this club. His impact on this team's performance this season is just ridiculously unbelievable. This is called Leadership! Clapping your hands 20 times like a monkey on the field is not called leadership. Messi has rejuvenated Barça❤💙Honestly. How can you watch Messi and not think he is the greatest player to ever step foot on the grass of any football pitch... Man produces puskas worthy goals each week now. - He is the GOAT for a reason! 🐐🖤

MESSI = pushing, pulling, tackles, step on him, whatever Almighty allowed him to score nothing will stop MESSI. In these pictures, you're looking at below, the [Crylaugh][Crylaugh][Crylaugh] opponent was the one that pushed MESSI out of the circle, so sorry the way he pushed Messi I was like ohh Messi lose control with the ball but this little goat 🐐 just said thank you Sir... for pushing me out. Congratulations to Messi and his fellow players...

One thing about Messi is that he never fails to surprise me. The love and passion he has for futbol is simply amazing that’s what makes him the GOAT. My respect to this legend you’ll always be the greatest of all time for me ❤️
