They then doubled their lead, scoring a great team goal. Ousmane Dembele pulled it back to Pedri, who finished the chance clinically.
Xavi’s side continued to control the game after the break and Lewandowski netted his second brace in as many weeks. Dembele played him through and the Polish striker scored with a sensational back heel while being forced wide.
In the final minutes Lewandowski was unlucky not to grab a hat-trick, his shot came back off the crossbar following a brilliant save from Jordi Masip and substitute Sergi Roberto was on hand to tuck away for a fourth.
The win puts Barca up in the top 4 race with two wins and a draw.
