The defender says the Barcelona captain told him where to be for the header

Ronald Araujo came off the bench against Getafe to give away a penalty and score a header as Barcelona beat Getafe 5-2.

The Uruguayan defender replaced Gerard Pique at half-time only to give away the spot-kick that got the visitors back into the game at 3-2.

However, he scored from a corner late on to make it 4-2 in a set play he said him and Lionel Messi, the corner taker, had worked on.

"Messi tells me to get into that are because he crosses hard and low and I have the ability in the air to help the team," Araujo said.

"I was gutted about the penalty but the goal helped me get over it. I have to concentrate better at moments like that."

On the European Super League, Araujo added: "It's not for me to speak much about that, the club released a statement, we just have to focus on the league.

"We have seven finals left now to win the title. We're doing well despite the defeat in the Clasico and we're just thinking about winning these seven games."
