Inter Miami 0-6 Barcelona: US tour off to a flyer in goal-filled romp

The Catalans started perfectly in the States with a string of fine goals against their MLS opponents

Barcelona kicked off their tour of the US in spectacular fashion on America’s east coast with a thumping win over Phil Neville’s Inter Miami on Tuesday night.

The Catalans were on top from the start against their MLS opposition and it was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang who handed them the lead.

The Gabon forward was set up by new arrival Raphinha, who started for the first time, along with fellow signing centre-back Andreas Christensen, and Aubameyang chipped home.

Raphinha netted the second himself when Alejandro Balde’s deep cross found him at the back post.

Then he helped set up Ansu Fati for the third with a pass into the box which the youngster lashed home with aplomb.

In the second half Oscar Hernandez - on the bench with Xavi not yet allowed to travel - made 11 changes and his team continued to add to their lead.

Memphis played a clever low corner for Gavi to smash into the top corner for the fourth.

The fifth game from a piece of genius from Memphis, leaving his marker for dead and tucking home.

Then Ousmane Dembele got in on the act, stroking home the sixth from the edge of the box.
