Barcelona picked up arguably the biggest victory of all in round one of the Champions League, brushing aside many people's tip for the trophy in Juventus.

In a crushing display of attacking prowess led by the ever impressive Lionel Messi, the Catalan club ran out 3-0 winners against a team who seemingly had their number last time out.

This season under a new manager, Barca seem to have found their verve again. Messi looks to be back to his brilliant best, and in Luis Suarez and new signing Ousmane Dembele, the club have a wealth of attacking talent (though the latter is set for a lengthy layoff).

Four time winners in the last 11 years is enough to suggest they will be one of the most feared teams in the competition, and their early mauling of Juve sends out a clear message.
