Thierry Henry (14), Gerard Pique (17), Lionel Messi (50), Marco Caneira (own goal) and Bojan Krkic scored the visitors' five goals, While Miguel Veloso (65) and Derlei (66) scored Sporting's consolation.
After 14 minutes, Barcelona started showing full control of the game with an early lead. Lionel Messi was allowed to storm his way in the Sporting box, the Argentine dished out an assist to Henry who easily tapped in from close range.
Three minutes later, Barcelona added a second when a high ball was ricocheted off Anderson Polga and Gerard Pique and ended in the back of the net.
After the interval, Josip Guradiola's men were able to find the net once again thanks to a Messi shot from the edge of the box.

The home side finally got back in the game with a double-minute salvo from Miguel Veloso and substitute striker Derlei.
Veloso curled in a powerful left-footed free kick from 30 yards out that left Oscar Valdes helpless in the Barcelona goal.
One minute later, Marco Caneira was forced to score an own goal against the home side.
