Jessica Wik's unfortunate own goal in the fourth minute set the tone for what was to come, with Samla Paralluelo, Patricia Guijarro, Aitana Bonmati, Mariona Caldentey and Martina Fernandez all scoring in the rout.
The defeat left the Swedes at the foot of Group A's table with zero points to show for their efforts in three games. Barcelona lead the way with maximum points from three games.
