Former Barcelona teammate, Sergio Busquets, sets up the Argentine in the eighth minute of the game as he finished off the goal from a rebound after the first strike had hit the post.

14 minutes later, the World Cup winner netted his second goal of the night as he calmly finished off an eight-yard goal after he was found and set up by Robert Taylor, who was later rewarded with an assist from Lionel Messi later in the game as the match ended 4-0.
