Barcelona began their pre-season preparations with a 2-1 victory over Italian champions Juventus in the International Champions Cup in New Jersey on Saturday night.
Neymar netted a first-half brace for Barcelona, before Giorgio Chiellini headed Juventus back into the match just past the hour mark.

JUVE: Buffon; Lichtsteiner, Benatia, Barzagli, Asamoah; Khedira, Marchisio; Sturaro, Lemina, Bentancur; Mandzukic
