Lewandowski had provided the assist for the opener, lofting the ball for Dembele to head in.

Dembele found Sergi Roberto to make it 2-0 and also set up a late fourth as Ferran Torres swept in.

It was a dominant display by Barcelona but some of the shine was taken off the win as Roberto went off with a shoulder injury late on.
