Defending champions Barcelona had no problems despatching Levski Sofia on a rainy night in the Nou Camp stadium. Iniesta started things off in the sixth minute after a brilliant team move, Deco sending Ronaldinho off down the wing for him to cross in to Eto'o, who flicked the ball into Iniesta's path. Full backs Belletti and Van Bronckhorst caused some problems, but there was also a timid reaction from the Bulgarians, Stanislav Angelov testing Valdés with a long shot.

With six minutes to go to the break though Giuly made it two following Iniesta's quickly taken free kick which Eto'o played on for the winger to round his man and clip a shot over the keeper, and it was already over. Puyol joined in the fun, scoring his first ever Champions League goal four minutes after the restart after Petkov could only push out Ronaldinho's free kick, and Eto'o made it four soon afterwards with a solo effort, picking up Deco's pass and finding space between four markers to shoot low past the keeper.

After that it was shooting practice, with Eto'o and substitute Gudjohnsen in particular testing Petkov once again. Thuram closed down angelov as the visitors tried for a consolation goal, and with the game coming to an end Ronaldinho rounded things off, taking a pass from Eto'o and leaving his man for dead before curled a shot past the keeper and in off the far post. With Chelsea beating Werder Bremen in the other group match it looks like a two horse race.
