Juventus laid down a marker with a 3-0 win at Malmo on the opening night of this season's Champions League group stages.
Juve took the lead somewhat against the run of play through Alex Sandro's 23rd-minute header.
Paulo Dybala added another from the penalty spot just before the break, but there was still time for Alvaro Morata to fire in a third.
In Tuesday night's other Group F game - Manchester United's group - Villarreal and Atalanta drew 2-2 at El Madrigal.

Dynamo Kiev saw a stoppage-time goal from Mykola Shaparenko ruled out following a VAR review as they had to settle for a point following a 0-0 draw at home against Benfica.
In Group G, there were four first-half penalties as Sevilla drew 1-1 against Salzburg at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjun, having played most of the second half with only 10 men.
Salzburg were awarded a spot-kick in the 13th minute when Karim Adeyemi was fouled by Diego Carlos – but the forward then dragged his penalty wide.
Luka Sucic showed his team-mate how it should be done when he converted his penalty in the 21st minute after Adeyemi had been bundled over again.
The 19-year-old midfielder, though, struck the post with Salzburg’s third spot-kick, awarded in the 36th minute following another foul on Adeyemi, this time by goalkeeper Yassine Bounou.
