Carles Puyol, Jeffren and Bojan Krkic all scored to give FC Barcelona their third successive victory of pre-season as they defeated Fiorentina in a testimonial for Artemio Franchi in the Stadio Artemio Franchi.
The host team put up stern resistance, but like Hibernian and Dundee United before them, they were unable to cope with the strong display of football that Pep Guardiola's side produced throughout the encounter. With a strong performance up front and a solid game by the Blaugrana back four la Viola were unable to produce many clear-cut chances.
