Barcelona claimed victory against Leicester City on the International Champions Cup, but it was Foxes newcomer Ahmed Musa who stole the show on Wednesday.

The club-record signing from CSKA Moscow tallied a brace against the Spanish champions, showing off his blazing speed to pick up the first in a brilliant solo run.

Once he made the turn around Barcelona's Jeremy Matheiu, it was over. Musa took off from inside his own half and it was a forgone conclusion. That's breakneck. Sergi Roberto actually had an angle to break up the move, but Musa kiboshed that with a deft touch and the footrace was on.

Not that FIFA 16 ratings are gospel, but Musa is among the fastest players in the game ... and you can see why.

Leicester face an uphill battle to retain their Premier League crown, and will be playing in their first-ever Champions League this upcoming season. Having a burner like Musa to help take the burden off the likes of Jamie Vardy & Co. could go a long way to the Foxes having another surprise season.
