FC Barcelona had itself something of a deer cull on Sunday night when it defeated Kashima Antlers 5-0 at Tokyo's National Stadium.

Japan's capital may be as far away from northern Spain as you can get but there was no doubting which side was favorite among the crowd of 55,251, and the Catalan side did not disappoint.

Brazilian midfielder Ronaldinho led the way with a masterful display in midfield, ably supported by Lodovic Giuly, playing wide on the right, and former Celtic striker Henrik Larsson.
