The Catalans enjoyed another impressive performance at the Johan Cryuff Stadium after beating Girona in their second test game this preseason.

Barca were unable to find another goal until the stroke of half time when Lionel Messi struck from long range to double their lead.

Barely 60 seconds on return to the pitch, Samuel Saiz reduced Girona's deficit with an impressive display.

The Argentine superstar completed his brace in the 51st minute with another stunning long-range effort that went beyond the reach of Juan Carlos.

Koeman's men have now scored six goals in their first two games this preseason but have also conceded at least a goal each in both encounters.
