Fiorentina beat Barcelona 2-1 on Sunday in the 2015 International Champions Cup at the Stadio Artemio Franchi. Federico Bernardeschi netted both goals for La Viola, while Barca could only muster a Luis Suarez finish in response during a game in which all the goals were scored before half-time.
Barcelona took time to establish their familiar stylish passing game. A big reason for that was how direct Fiorentina were going forward.
The Italian side raided the flanks with their pace, helping Bernardeschi score twice in the first 15 minutes.
Barca boss Luis Enrique rested several key stars, including South American attacking duo Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr.
