Barça punctuated their American tour with a new victory, against the New York Red Bulls, this Saturday at the Red Bull Arena in Harrison (2-0). And Ousmane Dembélé has struck again. The French international opened the scoring shortly before the break with a cross shot on a blind pass from rookie Raphinha (41st). He thus signed his fifth goal of the offseason.

Pole Robert Lewandowski cannot say the same. Despite all the efforts and the many chances created until his exit in the 73rd minute, the former Bayern striker remained silent. And he still hasn’t scored in his new colors. His replacement for the evening, Memphis Depay, meanwhile doubled the lead a quarter of an hour after entering the track (87th).

A final warm-up lap at Camp Nou before the resumption of La Liga
The Catalan club therefore leaves the United States with a draw against Juventus (2-2) but above all three victories against Inter Miami (6-0), Real Madrid (1-0), and New York (2 -0). Before La Liga resumes on August 13, Xavi’s side have a last friendly meeting on August 7, this time at the Camp Nou, with the Pumas of Mexico, Dani Alves’ new team.
