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.
