Flop: Clement Lenglet (Barcelona)

The centre back was impressive for much of the game alongside Gerard Pique, as they were continually harried by the likes of Angel Rodriguez and Jaime Mata. However, he got his marching orders in the second half after a second yellow, putting his teammates under unnecessary pressure.

In the 47th minute, Clement Lenglet got his first yellow after bringing down Kenedy, conceding a freekick in the process. In the 82nd minute, he made a needless challenge on Jorge Molina, stamping on the striker's foot, and he was dismissed for a second yellow card. Getafe piled on the pressure after that, as Lenglet's teammate's held on with fewer numbers.

There was no reason for that rash challenge because Barca was 2 goals up and the game was almost over.


Hit: Luis Suarez (Barcelona)

The Barca hitman was inarguably Getafe's tormentor in chief, as he continually poked and prodded El Geta's defence.

He was the outlet for La Blaugrana through the middle as they continually tried to give him quick balls into space. One of those incursions paid off, as Suarez latched onto a beautiful lob from ter Stegen, outpaced El Geta's centre backs, and lobbed Soria for the opening goal of the game. Luis Suarez also had a game-high shots contribution of 4.
