All smiles before the battle
How did Ronaldo not score?
Suarez opened the scoring
Cue the celebrations
Carvajal was sent off for the hosts
Ramos remonstrates with the referee
Messi stepped up to take the penalty...
...and made no mistake
Hey, Leo! Where's your boot?
Didn't stop him from assisting Vidal for the third!
3-0 up!
A frustrating day for Ronaldo
Zidane sent in reinforcements
No one could get past Ter Stegen though
A great day at the office for Barca
Is Zidane in danger of the sack?
