Barcelona 3 - Sporting Gijon 0 (La Liga)

First game of the La Liga season for Barca against newly-promoted Sporting, and from a Xavi corner after 17 minutes, Bojan Krkic managed to bundle the ball over the line at the back post. Just before the break Barca doubled their lead as Seydou Keita headed home a Dani Alves cross. The Nou Camp received the icing on the cake in the final 10 minutes as Zlatan Ibrahimovic opened his account for the Catalans.
