BARCELONA FOOTBALL IS BACK! The World Cup was nice and all, but nothing beats seeing our favorite club playing, even if it’s just preseason. The Blaugrana start their preparations for the new campaign with the first of three International Champions Cup matches in the United States, at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, against Tottenham Hotspur.
Ernesto Valverde is missing 12 players who went to the World Cup, plus Paulinho who was sold and the injured Sergi Samper and Paco Alcácer. There are plenty of very talented youngsters from Barça B who have realistic opportunities to join the first team this season, and this tour will be crucial for them.
A few players to keep an eye on in this match: new signings Clément Lenglet, Arthur and Malcom who are all expected to make their debuts, Barça B left-back Marc Cucurella who is expected to replace Lucas Digne if the Frenchman is indeed sold to Everton, and Munir El-Haddadi who will most likely stay with the squad this season and is looking to score his way into meaningful minutes once the meaningful games begin.
POSSIBLE LINEUPS
Barcelona (4-4-2): Cillessen; Semedo, Marlon, Lenglet, Digne; Vidal, Roberto, Gomes, Denis; Rafinha, Munir
Tottenham (4-2-3-1): Gazzaniga; Aurier, Sánchez, Carter-Vickers, Davies; Sissoko, Amos; Lucas, Eriksen, Son; Llorente
PREDICTION
This is the first preseason friendly and the result means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING (PLEASE REMEMBER THAT), so I just want a lot of goals and a lot of minutes for the young boys: I’m going for a 3-3 draw, Barça win on penalties.
