Getafe matchwinner Jaime Mata was delighted to be decisive in victory over Barcelona.

It was Mata's strike that decided the game, converting from the penalty spot after a Frenkie de Jong foul, having missed the last time he took a spotkick, in the heartbreaking final day defeat to Levante which cost Getafe a Europa League spot.

"It was liberating," he admitted.

"When you take a penalty you expose yourself. Last time I didn't convert and you're hoping that it happens again to get rid of the fear and feel secure again. In that sense I felt confident."
