Player Ratings: Barcelona 6-0 Getafe

Sports Mole takes a look at how each player performed during Barcelona's 6-0 win over Getafe at Camp Nou.

Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez both scored twice as Barcelona beat Getafe 6-0 in La Liga on Tuesday.

The hosts were five goals ahead at the break, with Neymar and Xavi also on the scoresheet.

Getafe managed to stem the flow in the second half, however, as Messi's second in the 47th minute proved the final goal on a wonderful night of football in Barcelona.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at how each player performed at Camp Nou.

BARCELONA

Goal

Claudio Bravo: Recorded another clean sheet in the league, but it was not a comfortable night for the Chilean, who made a number of mistakes. Did not look entirely confident. (6/10)

Defence

Dani Alves: Now looks certain to remain at Camp Nou and the Brazilian had another strong game here. Was up and down all night and came close to scoring on a couple of occasions. (7/10)

Jeremy Mathieu: Made a couple of smart interceptions in the second period, but was caught out a couple of times in the first period. Not overly impressive from the Frenchman. (6/10)

Marc Bartra: Has struggled for minutes this season and the Spaniard did look a little rusty. Was involved in a untidy incident with his goalkeeper in the first period, which almost brought a goal. (6/10)

Adriano: Solid performance from the Brazilian, who missed a good chance late in the first half. Not much wrong, but does not provide the same attacking threat as Jordi Alba. (6/10)

Midfield

Sergio Busquets: Will have had tougher afternoons on the beach, but the Spaniard was calm and composed in the middle. Was replaced by Sergi Roberto at the interval. (7/10)

Xavi: Only spent an hour on the field, but it was an absolute masterclass from the midfielder. Scored his side's fourth with a stunning finish, before setting up the fifth. Could do no wrong. (9/10)

Rafinha: Has enjoyed plenty of football this season and the midfielder made another positive impression at the Camp Nou. Was more than prepared to track back when his team needed cover. (7/10)

Attack

Neymar: Scored Barcelona's third of the evening with a composed finish, before setting up Xavi for goal number four. Everything is going right for Barca's front three at the moment. (8/10)

Luis Suarez: The star of the show at Camp Nou. Scored two, assisted one and won the penalty for the first goal. Was absolutely everywhere as he caused Getafe nightmares. (9/10)

Lionel Messi: Arguably in his best ever form at the moment and the Argentine scored another two goals at Camp Nou. Also set up Suarez's first with a wonderful pass from deep. (9/10)

Substitutes

Sergi Roberto: Replaced Busquets at the break and was tidy enough in the middle of the park without making too much of an impression. Needs to do a little bit more. (6/10)

Pedro: Was given the final 30 minutes, but the Spaniard's lack of football this season seems to have seriously harmed his confidence. Did not really contribute in the final third. (6/10)

Martin Montoya: Slotted in at right-back for the final 20 minutes. (6/10)

GETAFE

Goal

Vicente Guaita: Conceded six times, but cannot really be blamed for any of the goals. Made a couple of really good saves in the second period - including denying Messi from a free kick. (5/10)

Defence

Alvaro Arroyo: Ensured that his team got off to the worst possible start when he brought Suarez to the ground inside the box - allowing Messi to step forward and break the deadlock. (5/10)

Alexis: Returned from suspension to start in the middle of defence, but it was a miserable evening for the Spaniard, who was pulled all over the pitch by Barcelona's front three. (5/10)

Emiliano Velazquez: Like Alexis, Velazquez also returned from a suspension at Camp Nou and also like Alexis, he really struggled. Just could not cope with the interchanging in the final third. (4/10)

Roberto Lago: Did attempt to get things moving in the second period with a couple of forward runs, but was ultimately part of a defence that shipped six goals at Camp Nou. (5/10)

Midfield

Medhi Lacen: Was sloppy in possession of the ball for long spells and did not offer his back four adequate protection. Not one to remember for the experienced Algerian. (5/10)

Juan Rodriguez: Tasked with providing protection to his back four, but the Spaniard struggled all evening. Was replaced by Alex Felip with little over 25 minutes remaining. (5/10)

Pedro Leon: Getafe's most talented player and indeed captain, but the former Real Madrid midfielder made no impact at Camp Nou before being replaced late on. (5/10)

Attack

Emi: Just 18 years old, the teenager looked a little overwhelmed. Showed some nice touches, but really struggled to get into the game such was the home side's dominance. (5/10)

Baba Diawara: Had a couple of half-chances in the first period, but was left isolated on far too many occasions. Was replaced moments after the home side scored their sixth goal. (5/10)

Fredy Hinestroza: Quite comfortably Getafe's most threatening player. Forced Bravo to scramble clear in the first period and hit the post in the second. Unlucky not to find the back of the net. (6/10)

Substitutes

Ivan Lopez: Replaced Baba early in the second period and the 20-year-old can take heart from a positive performance. Offered a different threat in the final third. (6/10)

Alex Felip: Was fortunate to escape a booking when he fouled Messi just outside the box, but the 23-year-old's energy certainly helped his team in the final 25 minutes. (6/10)

Sergio Escudero: Was rested ahead of the weekend, but the experienced defender entered for the final 15 minutes and did help settle things down. (6/10)
