Barcelona signed off a memorable season with a comfortable friendly win over Vissel Kobe.
Scorers: Kessié 16′, García 19′
A quickfire double from Franck Kessié and Eric García early in the first half gave the new LaLiga champions a comfortable lead.
First, Kessié rolled the ball home from close-range before García met Pablo Torre’s corner three minutes later with a towering header.
Xavi handed January signing Julián Araujo his first outing at right-back while Barça also started six first-team regulars.
The club’s former captain Andrés Iniesta lined up for Vissel in what is expected to be his final appearance for the J.League outfit.
