Barcelona have a rival in the Joan Gamper trophy. It’s Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City.
SPORT has learned the clubs have reached a deal where both the mens and women’s teams will face each other this summer in friendlies dedicated to Juan Carlos Unzue.
The fund will go to ALS investigation, which is what the former Barca assistant and Celta Vigo coach is suffering from.
The only thing left is to pick a date for the games. One of the options on the table is to play after the season has begun for both sides, in the week of August 23.
As well as for Pep Guardiola, it will be a special game for players like Eric Garcia and Kun Aguero, who have joined Barca from the English side.
