The Spanish champions conceded an early goal and were pegged back to 2-2 before the break on a freezing night in the Czech capital but recovered with second-half goals from Dani Olmo and Robert Lewandowski.
Fermín López scored both their goals in the first half after Vasil Kusej bundled Slavia into a surprise lead but the hosts levelled when Lewandowski turned the ball into his own net.
That was reward for a positive performance from Slavia but Barca, without the
suspended Lamine Yamal, ultimately proved too strong with Marcus Rashford making a big impact from the bench.
Slavia served an early warning when Tomás Chorý controlled a bouncing ball and smashed a half-volley narrowly over.
Barça took time to settle but Eric García signalled a more positive approach just before the half-hour mark as he forced Jindrich Stanek to tip over from distance.
The equaliser came in the 34th minute after a nice move as Raphinha found Frenkie de Jong on the edge of the box with a neat backheel. The Dutchman slipped in López and he drilled in from a tight angle, beating Stanek at his near post.
