La Liga 2018/19
Venue: Camp Nou
Date: Sunday, 23 September

Barca thrashed PSV Eindhoven 4-0 at home to kick off their Champions League campaign in style, with Lionel Messi scoring a fine hat-trick.

Ernesto Valverde's men are top of the Spanish table with a perfect record so far, and should have no problems against Girona - but stranger things have happened.
