Barcelona had unlikely heroes to save them today as Denis Suarez and Paulinho scored late to win the game at Getafe. The home side were leading through a stunning first-half strike by Shibasaki and looked set to clinch all 3 points.

However, Ernesto Valverde made 2 smart substitutions and it resulted in both them scoring for the Catalan side when Luis Suarez and Leo Messi were getting outplayed.

Here's how Twitter reacted:
