Barcelona fans chanted Lionel Messi’s name in the tenth minute of their victory against Juventus in the Joan Gamper Trophy on Sunday night.
It was Barcelona’s first game since the departure of their legendary No 10.

It was an encouraging performance from Barcelona as they prepared for the new LaLiga campaign, which gets under way next weekend.

Neto made a save to deny Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona proceeded to make it 2-0 in the 57th minute, with Braithwaite scoring with a header.
Riqui Puig rounded off the scoring with an excellent finish in stoppage time.
