Barcelona
Ter Stegen: 7/10
The German International was a standout performer in goal tonight. He pulled off brilliant saves off a potential Pique own goal and a late powerful drive from Gimenez apart from a number of routine saves.
Roberto: 7/10
Back in his right-back role after Semedo was rested, he produced a mixed bag of a performance. He did make a couple of penetrating runs in attack and provided a fine assist for Denis Suarez's goal. He, however, was guilty of giving too much space on his side which, thankfully, was not exploited.
Pique: 6.5/10
This was a poor game by the standards he has set for himself. He made important tackles and interceptions but was also challenged physically, especially in the first half. He did redeem himself in the second half. He was lucky to not have scored an own goal.
Umtiti: 7.5/10
Umtiti had a good game as he dominated and won everything that came his way in the air. He won headers, made blocks and clearances and was a calm head in the heart of the Barca defence.
Jordi Alba: 6/10
The Spanish International was much quieter today. He was left with a lot to deal on his flank and generally did struggle. A mixed day at office for him.
Busquets: 8/10
The Spanish International was influential throughout the game. He broke plays and started attacks from his own half. This was a good commanding display from him in the middle of the park.
Rakitic: 7/10
The Croat was a willing runner in the midfield. He covered for his fullbacks and then contributed going forward as well. He looks to be getting back to his best after a below-par start to this season.
Iniesta: 5.5/10
The veteran midfielder had a rare poor game. Unimaginative in attack and generally lethargic, he struggled to have any say on the game. He was subbed off at halftime.
Dembele: 6/10
He looked bright in the early exchanges. His night was cut short early in the first half with a hamstring injury.
Suarez: 4.5/10
The Uruguayan gunman is having a quite poor 2017. Today was no different. He did work hard for his team but lacked any cutting edge which he is famous for. He needs to sort his game out.
Messi: 7.5/10
He had a very average game by his alien standards though he still was better than most of the players on the field. He could not find much joy inside the box as Getafe defended resolutely but was influential whenever he dropped deep.
Substitutes
Deulofeu: 7/10
He came on for Dembele in the first half after the latter's injury cut his night short. He was quite influential for the Catalan side as he ran at defenders and used his physicality very well as demonstrated in Barca's first goal. He contributed in defence too.
Denis Suarez: 7.5/10
His introduction set the dice rolling for La Blaugrana. He was crafty in possession, kept the ball in tight spaces and brought the much-needed urgency into Barca's game. His finishing for the goal was a thing of beauty.
Paulinho: 7/10
The much-ridiculed summer signing turned out to be the saviour of Barcelona tonight. He brought physicality into the midfield and scored a fine goal to swing the result in Barcelona's favour.
