Carles Perez scored his first two goals for Barcelona as the Spanish giants won 2-0 against a Vissel Kobe side featuring Andres Iniesta, a legend of the Catalan club.
As Kobe´s Iniesta, David Villa and Sergi Samper were all reunited with their former team, it was Perez who stole the limelight with a top-class double.
The 21-year-old, a product of Barcelona´s academy, played a one-two inside the box and nutmegged the goalkeeper for his first goal, and fired a stunning left-footer for his second in the dying minutes.
Iniesta had his chances and 28,000 fans sighed their frustration as he put a fierce shot just wide.
"It was my first goal for Barcelona and I´m glad to score even two," Perez said.
"It´s been my dream to score goals for this great team since my childhood," he added.
The win wrapped up Barcelona´s pre-season friendlies in Japan following their 2-1 loss to Chelsea earlier this week.
