Lionel Messi's sumptuous pass set up the first of Munir El Haddadi's two first-half goals, while Luis Suarez netted in between as the Spanish champion exposed the Foxes' defence.

Nigerian winger Musa, signed from CSKA Moscow, came out with all guns blazing as one of seven second-half changes for Leicester to score after a lightning 50-yard solo run and shot on 47 minutes.

He then added a second later in the stanza.

But with the score at 3-2, Barcelona sealed the win with a late tally from Rafa Mujica.

The English side, who shocked the football world with their fairytale run to the Premier League title last season, was beaten 4-0 last weekend by Paris Saint-Germain.
