Barcelona have avenged their Champions League semifinal loss against Juventus by defeating the Italian champions 2-1 at the International Champions Cup.

It took Barca only 15 minutes to open the scoring when Neymar found the net after a great one-two and an exquisite finish. Only 10 minutes later, the Brazilian struck Barcelona’s second to give them a 2-0 edge at halftime.

The Old Lady’s veteran defender Giorgio Chiellini cut the deficit to 2-1 in the 63rd minute which did not stop Ernesto Valverde’s men from taking the victory.
