Barcelona secured a 2-0 win against Vissel Kobe on Saturday to lift the Rakuten Cup in their last pre-season match in Japan.
Three former Barcelona players were in action for Vissel Kobe and it was Andrés Iniesta who came closest to breaking the deadlock when a long-range effort flew past Marc-André ter Stegen's far post, while Riqui Puig wasted a golden chance for the visitors at the other end of the pitch.
Iniesta came close once again in the latter stages of the first half, while goalkeeper Daiya Maekawa was forced into a good save to deny Ivan Rakitiu0107 a late goal, but in the end, an overall lethargic first-half came to a close with both sides still on level terms.
