Getafe are an unfashionable side but have pulled out the huge results at home this season as they've beaten Valencia, Barca, Osasuna and Villarreal at home by 3 goals or more this season. Possibly can be put down to the crowd being fantastic and like a 12th player for them.
Here's a nice little section from an article on fcbarcelona.com before the match:

Message board
After the victory over Real Betis at the weekend, Getafe moved upto eighth in the league and Schuster and club president, Ángel Torres, gave the team some surprising support. According to the coach, the 5-2 reverse in Camp Nou was an accident and to show the players that the fans still believe they can reach the final, a number of letters of support were hung up on the walls of the dressing room to lift morale within the squad. "We thought that it would cheer everyone up before the game", Schuster explained. "In football there are many ways to create a good atmosphere."
