Barcelona secured a 5-3 victory over Saudi Arabian champions Al Ahli in a friendly match at the Al-Gharrafa Stadium on Tuesday.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar were on the scoresheet as Barcelona beat Saudi Arabian champions in an entertaining friendly in Qatar.

Suarez opened the scoring in the eight minutes before Messi doubled their lead two minutes later with a curling strike across goal.

Neymar grabbed his side’s third goal of the match in the 16th minute before Omar Abdulrahman pulled one back with a panenka penalty.

However, Barca extended their lead with goals from striker Paco Alcacer, who netted his first Barca goal and Rafinha as the match went on.

A brace from Mohanad Aseri restored some respectability to the scoreline but Barcelona held onto their 5-3 lead until the final whistle as his side prepares for their La Liga clash against Espanyol on Sunday.
