Lamine Yamal equalized for Barca in the 22nd minute before Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Alejandro Balde all scored ahead of the interval to give their side a 4-1 lead.
Raphinha added a fifth two minutes after the break, but things got more complicated when goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny was sent off for a foul on Mbappé in the 56th minute.
Rodrygo pulled one back from a free-kick in the 60th minute, but it was not enough to truly mount a comeback.
