FC Barcelona will face Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal this Thursday at 4:30 a.m., in a commitment that will open the pre-season tour for the culés after the mishap that occurred against Juventus in Turin. It is important to remember that Xavi Hernández’s squad was unwell due to a stomach virus and the match in Santa Clara was cancelled.
However, the club’s social networks have reaffirmed through a video that the match against the English will be played normally. Both Pedri González and Alejandro Balde have been the protagonists of a —prepared— video call with Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli, two of the stars of the ‘gunner’ squad, where they ‘warm up their engines’ in the run-up to the game.
The curious video call between Barça and Arsenal
The publication begins with a conversation between the culé midfielder and the English attacker. “Hello, Bukayo. What’s up, man?” asks the canary. “Yes, Pedri. Are you okay?” replied Saka. “All good! Looking forward to seeing you in Los Angeles”, the ‘8’ continues. “Yes, me too my friend. Who will you bring with you?” points forward.
“I’ll be there, and your Gabi?” Bucket intervenes. “Hell yeah, I’m crazy about it”, Martinelli clarifies, thus confirming his presence at the meeting. “This match will be special,” adds the Barça defender, followed by one last appearance by Pedri. “The promises of the future face to face”, concludes the former UD Las Palmas. The video closes with the four players defining the place where they will meet (SoFi Stadium) and greeting each other.
This party will have several incentives on the table, like the premiere of Ilkay Gündogan and Oriol Romeu with the Barça elastic. There is also the clash of talent in the core of both clubs, taking into account that they have strengthened with the millionaire signing of Declan Rice from Aston Villa.
