Barca took the lead when Fredy Guarin's poor backpass six minutes before the break gave possession to Lionel Messi, who rounded keeper Helton and finished into the empty net.
Porto's Rolando was sent off, he has already booked, who then saw red card after tripping Messi. Pep Guardiola's side wasted little time capitalising, substitute Fabregas finishing delightfully before Guarín was dismissed in the final minute for a sliding challenge on Javier Mascherano.
The win is the 12th trophy during Pep Guardiola's reign as coach, making him the most successful coach in the club’s rich history.
