After the El Clasico defeat, Koeman made changes to his line-up with Ousmane Dembélé, Pedri, Miralem Pjanic and Sergi Roberto in for Ansu Fati, Sergio Busquets, Serginho Dest and the injured Philippe Coutinho. Juventus were without Cristiano Ronaldo and Matthijs de Ligt.
Antoine Griezmann hit the post early on before Dembélé did give Barcelona the lead after 14 minutes. Lionel Messi nearly made it 2-0, while at the other end, Alvaro Morata had a night to forget with three goals disallowed for offside.
In the second half, Frenkie de Jong was placed into the centre of defence, but the Dutchman had a quiet evening as Barcelona dominated. Messi made sure of the victory late on with a penalty.
Barcelona have six points from six and sit top of their Champions League group with two games against Dynamo Kiev coming up next.
