Match Report
Third division Ceuta almost made it to the break goalless but Raphinha's 41st-minute strike opened the scoring and paved the way for a manita.
Robert Lewandowski added two goals after the break and Ansu Fati and Franck Kessie were also on target for Xavi Hernandez's side.
After beating Real Madrid in the Supercopa final on Sunday, Xavi made 10 changes to his XI, with only Lewandowski keeping his place -- the Polish striker is banned for the next two league games.
A nutritional first half was controlled by Barca but there were few real chances until Raphinah's fine effort from 18 yards curled into the bottom corner just before the break.
Lewandowski added the second in the 50th minute and substitute Ansu scored the third in the 70th minute with a brilliant individual goal.
Kessie headed in the fourth from Raphinha's cross and Lewandowski completed the scoring late on with a pinpoint finish inside the box.
Robert Lewandowski scored twice in the second half, either side of goals from Ansu Fati and Franck Kessie, with Raphinha having put the visitors ahead before the interval.
