In the space of just five minutes, Ferran Torres got on the scoresheet through his fantastic first-time finish to hand Barcelona a comfortable 2-0 lead.

Fermín López scored two more goals for Barcelona in the final minutes of the first half, making sure the team had a massive 5-0 lead at halftime.
