And Luis Enrique reflected on a job well done after the match.
"Our objective was to win the group, and I think we played a serious match," he said. "We were at a good level and we achieved our objective.
"This is a sport that is dictated by results. Today we missed an important player in Dani Alves [who was suspended] but we got on with things and we were able to turn around a difficult game.
"Given the players we've got we always look to play a formation that will do harm to the opponents, and today we had to play to win, looking for space for Messi and Neymar.
"The first half was back to basics, and thanks to our goals we got in front and were able to go into the rest of the game more relaxed."
