Barça looked strong from the word go, and it only took ten minutes for Oshoala to convert after the ball had bounded off the crossbar and into her path. Five minutes later the Nigerian striker was heading in the second.

The Swedes hadn't had a shot on goal, or even come close to one, when Mapi León made it 3-0 with a finely struck free kick just before half-time.

Top of the group

Aitana's backheel to Rolfö led to goal number four just after the break, and just three minutes after that Marta Torrejón made it five when she was there to make the most of a ball that slipped out of the hands the visiting goalkeeper.
