It was the visitors who actually opened the scoring on Sunday, as Cucho Hernandez's third-minute strike silenced the Barcelona faithful.
But any hopes the La Liga minnows had of pulling off the massive upset were quickly quelled, as Messi and Co. recovered from the early setback to record the lopsided victory.
Ousmane Dembele, Ivan Rakitic, and Jordi Alba all found the net, with an own goal from Jorge Pulido also contributing to the eye-catching scoreline.
