VIDEO: Iniesta's vision, Messi magic pivotal to Munir's header

Barcelona appears to be on its way to winning three points at a canter yet again.
Andres Iniesta's perfectly weighted pass found the run of Lionel Messi, who cushioned a ball onto the head of Munir El Haddadi in the 19th minute. The goal handed Barca a 2-0 advantage over visiting Getafe, with Messi's assist making amends for his fluffed penalty just eight minutes earlier.
It seems spot kicks are the only thing the Argentinian isn't good at.
Messi first Barca player ever to miss 8 penalties over career - and Barca first team to miss eight penalties in same La Liga season.
