Barcelona have dented Getafe’s hopes of a top-four finish with a 2-0 win at Camp Nou in a bate to covert their Champions League humiliations in the hands of Liverpool.
The LaLiga champions, who were knocked out at Anfield after letting slip a three-goal advantage from the first leg, seemed to still be struggling in the aftermath against opponents aiming for a top-four finish.
Vidal took advantage of one of the few chances Barca carved out in a game played at a leisurely pace to dash in one before Messi confused Djene Dakonam with another.
The Argentine star forced an own goal on Djene Dakonam in the closing minutes to seal a result that allowed Valencia leapfrog Getafe in the top four.
