Robert Lewandowski added another two goals to his La Liga tally while his strike partner Memphis Depay also got on the scoresheet in an extremely convincing victory to prove he's the man to start alongside him regularly.
The task of the hosts at Camp Nou was made very simple inside quarter of an hour as Gonzalo Verdu was sent off for denying a goalscoring opportunity. Lewandowski was the man he fouled so it probably saved an opening goal but it left his side with a mountain to climb.
The Poland striker made sure that wouldn't be his only chance to score. In the 34th minute, he added the simplest of finishing touches to a well-worked attacking move, converting Alex Balde's pinpoint low cross.
It was Depay's turn to find the back of the net seven minutes later as he turned his defender brilliantly before firing an unstoppable effort past Edgar Badia.
The only goal of the second half came just moments after the restart. The ball fell loose in the penalty area and Depay retrieved it before laying a simple chance on for Lewandowski who made no mistake.
The game finished 3-0 to Barca, here are the winners, losers and ratings from Camp Nou.
