Getafe striker Jaime Mata: Barcelona matchwinner was liberating

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."
