FC Barcelona – Man City. Where to watch?
FC Barcelona After a few weeks of training, the team begins its pre-season tour – the first one to be led by German Hansi Flick. There were more changes in the team of the vice-champion of Spain: Joao Cancelo, who was remembered for his good start and disastrous end of the season, left, as did Joao Felix. The team was also weakened by the departure of Sergi Roberto, whose contract expired. The captain of Barcelona may return to the team, because the club did not officially say goodbye to him. However, due to the tragic financial situation, Blaugrana was unable to extend Roberto’s contract.
There have been no incoming transfers so far, because despite what Joan Laporta says, Barcelona’s finances are still in a terrible state. In the preseason, the chances will be given to Barcelona B players who performed well in previous rounds, and many first-team players will be resting (Lamine Yamal, Ferran Torres, Fermin Lopez) or continuing their recovery (Pedri, Gavi).
In good news for FCB fans: Alejandro Balde, injured for a large part of last season, is back in the squad. The squad includes 15 players who have not made their official debuts in the first team, including two 16-year-olds: Toni Fernández and Guille Fernández.

FC Barcelona will play Manchester City, Real Madrid, AC Milan and AS Monaco (Gamper Cup) in the pre-season. Manchester City will also have a friendly with Chelsea and a Community Shield clash with Manchester United.
