Two goals from Argentine's Lionel Messi and one from Brazil star, Neymar Jr gave Barcelona a three-nil comfortable win over bundesliga side, Bayern Munich in the first leg of their champions league semi final clash at the Nou Camp.
Messi scored his first for the Catalans on the 77th minutes of the game after the first half had ended goalless, with Barcelona keeping more of the possession.
Three minutes later, the four-time ballon d'Or winner put his second pass the world cup winning goalkeeper, Manuel Neuer, which brings his champions league all time goal scoring record to 77, one above Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, who also hit his 76th goal in his side's defeat to Juventus on Tuesday night.
Neymay sealed the victory for Luis Enrique in the extra-time of the game due to Bayern's quest to at least put one back, which opened up the Bavarian's defense.
Pep Guadiola, who returned for the first time to the Camp Nou where he won 14 trophies in his 4-year tenure at the club was disappointed as the player he mentored, Messi, tore apart his side who had clinched the bundesliga title for the third time on a row.
Bayern only managed one shot on target compared to Barcelona's eight shots which eventually produced three goals at the end of the game, and now Luis Enrique and his men will consolidate on their victory next Tuesday when they travel to the Alanz Arena for the 2nd leg.
Meanwhile, Barca are still on track to winning treble again this season, the feat they last achieved under pep Guadiola.
