BarcelonaBarcelona3JuventusJuventus0
Two fine goals from Lionel Messi helped Barcelona to a comfortable 3-0 win over last season's Champions League finalists Juventus at the Nou Camp.
Messi struck right on half-time, drilling his shot in off the post after a brilliant one-two with Luis Suarez.
Ivan Rakitic scored Barca's second after Messi's shot was cleared off the line.
The Argentine then wrapped up victory with a superb left-footed goal from 20 yards.
Running in from the right wing, he beat several Juve defenders before placing the ball past goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon.
