As Spanish journalists have learned, Xavi’s team will travel to the American West Coast to play three or four friendlies. Real Madrid could be one of the rivals.
Planning for the road of summer
FC Barcelona is already working on planning for next season and not only in terms of signings and losing, but also on the preseason roadmap. As AS has learned, the Blaugrana team will tour the West Coast of the United States, where it initially plans to play three to four friendlies. One of the possible rivals that are contemplated would be Real Madrid, as well as Juventus and Milan, which could coincide on those dates in American lands. The exact dates are not yet closed, nor are the rivals: it is pending whether Barcelona finally wins the Europa League. And it is that in the event that the Blaugrana achieve the gold medal, they would have to face the European Super Cup with the winner of the Champions League, which will be played on August 10 in Helsinki.
Cities confirmed in the USA
One of the cities that is already confirmed that the first team will visit is Las Vegas, where a triangular is not ruled out. They are also trying to close a friend in Los Angeles and another in another city on the West Coast to complete a tour that would last between 10 and 12 days. Thus, Barcelona will tour the United States again three years after the last one. In August 2019, the team, then coached by Ernesto Valverde, traveled to Miami and Michigan to play two friendlies against Napoli. In fact, this was the last tour that the team made, since the pandemic paralyzed the world in every way, forcing all plans and forecasts to be postponed. Three years later, Barcelona recovers the tours, returning to a market where the club has many interests to continue forging alliances and businesses.
