Luis Suarez was back in the goal-scoring routine as Barcelona claimed a Spanish Super Cup advantage with a 2-0 victory away to Sevilla.
Suarez, who scored 59 goals for Barca last season, opened his account for the new campaign early in the second half and substitute Munir added a second nine minutes from time.
The breakthrough came when substitute Denis Suarez picked out the run of Arda Turan with a delightful flighted pass and a controlled chest down from the Turkey international allowed the Uruguayan striker to pick his spot from 12 yards.
Barcelona were far better after the break and Munir scored with his first touch as he burst onto Lionel Messi's measured pass.
Barca are firmly in the driving seat ahead of Wednesday's second leg at the Nou Camp -- victory easing the painful memories of the 5-1
aggregate defeat to Athletic Bilbao in the Spanish Super Cup 12 months ago.
