Joao Felix scored twice as Barcelona started this season’s UEFA Champions League with a commanding 5-0 win against Belgian club Royal Antwerp at the Estadio Olympic on Tuesday night.
Xavi’s side were three goals ahead after just 23 minutes thanks to strikes from Joao Felix and Robert Lewandowski, plus an own goal from Jelle Bataille.
Gavi added a fourth before Felix got his second after the break to give Barca’s campaign the perfect start.
The La Liga champions were eliminated in the group stage of their last two Champions League campaigns.
