Barcelona's final overseas friendly is this Sunday, when the Blaugrana close their International Champions Cup campaign against Fiorentina in Florence and the Machine, Italy. After a three-game tour in the United States, the Treble-winning squad has one more game before returning to the Camp Nou.
It has been a productive preseason for the players and coach Luis Enrique. He suffered one casualty with the injury to backup right-back Douglas Pereira that will keep the Brazilian out for two months, but for the rest of the group, including the Barça B youngsters, it was a very good opportunity to gain experience and maybe carve out a place in the group of first-teamers with more minutes.
Today they'll face a team that made a very good run in last season's edition of the Italian Serie A. Without a star, they relied on team play and togetherness to build a very strong squad and finish fourth in the league, just five points shy of a place in the Champions League.
It will be a difficult game for a Barça team still without Lionel Messi and Neymar Jr., and should be another quality test for the Catalan giants.
