An exhibition match by Spanish football giants FC Barcelona highlighted the National Fitness Day here on Sunday night when the Catalan club routed Chinese Super League champion Beijing Guo'an 3-0 in the iconic Bird's Nest Olympic stadium.
The substituted Ibrahimovic sealed the easy victory in the 90th minute with a calm low shot. The Swedish center forward grabbed much more popularity from the audiences than the leader Lionel Messi with one goal and several sharp passes, proving he was not only a minor role in the new season for the star-studded club.
Barca, dressed in the traditional turquoise-coloured strip, showed that they were not in the same level with the host's club from the beginning of the lop-sided match.
The visitor's head coach Josep Guardiola only fielded four familiar first-team players led by Messi onto the ground. But they were strong enough to their opponent.
With the intricate short passes and patient bulid-up from wings, two young faces Sergio Roberto and Manuel Nolito each were fed to score a quick-fire goal after only 15 minutes.
The host side seemed stunned from the start but gradually found their positions in the midfield and created several chances by speedy counter-attack.
The best chance of Guo'an came on 33rd minute when Honduran forward Walter Martinez were set free in the area but his low strike was parried by a diving save from Barca's second-choice keeper Pinto.
