Pre-match Information
Barcelona will face Manchester City in a pre-season friendly at Camping World Stadium in Orlando at 06:00 on July 31 (Vietnam time).
This is Barcelona's first match this summer, after a short period beginning the era of new head coach Hansi Flick.
Meanwhile, this will be the third friendly match for the Premier League champions. Previously, Man City lost 2 matches in the US with high-scoring results against Celtic (3-4) and AC Milan (2-3).
In fact, both teams are still missing most of their squads who participated in international tournaments this summer. For Barca, Raphinha, Ilkay Gundogan, and Jules Kounde will join the squad after this match, while some Spanish players will not return until the first weekend of August.
For Man City, Erling Haaland, Ederson, and Jack Grealish have all gathered early and played in the last 2 matches. Haaland has scored 2 goals in the last 2 matches.
After Man City experienced 2 high-scoring matches, fans naturally expect a similar scenario when The Citizens face Barca.
Additionally, people are also waiting to see how the German coach will transform Barcelona by emphasizing pressing and fast, direct attacking play instead of the traditional passing style of the Catalan team.
Barcelona won 5, Man City won 1 in previous encounters.
