21:25 | The 55th edition of the Joan Gamper Trophy
FC Barcelona summer trophy, it was won last year against Elche (1-0) and the Catalan club has always won since 2012 and a 1-0 defeat against Sampdoria. The Blaugranas have won 53 editions of this competition. Juventus, however, faced Barca in 2005 for a 2-2 / 4-2 victory on penalties.
9:20 p.m. | Cristiano Ronaldo back
First preparation match with Juventus this season. The Portuguese comes out of a complicated Euro even if he responded individually. Facing FC Barcelona, a club with which he was a rival during his time at Real Madrid, CR7 will be keen to shine.
9:15 p.m. | Yusuf Demir the surprise
The eleven of FC Barcelona is approaching a typical team but Yusuf Demir has found his place in the midfield. Interesting during the preparation, the Austrian will try to continue at this pace in order to show that he can be a real option this season for Ronald Koeman.
9:10 pm | Juventus under Allegri
Great upheaval for Juventus this season with the return of Massimiliano Allegri. With a return of 4-3-3, the Turin club will simplify its approach and slowly find its bearings.
9:05 pm | FC Barcelona in crisis
Unable to register Lionel Messi in his team for the coming season, FC Barcelona said goodbye to his star. A real heartbreak for the Catalan club which advances in a rather deleterious climate with accounts in the red.
9 p.m. Juventus gaining momentum
After a 3-1 win over Cesena, Juventus followed with a 2-1 win over Monza. La Vecchia Signora will have to continue to raise its level against a much more established team.
8:55 pm | FC Barcelona remain on a defeat
The preparation had started well with successes against Nastic (4-0) and Girona (3-1) as well as a great victory against Stuttgart (3-0). FC Barcelona, however, fell against Salzburg in their last match (2-1) and will have to bounce back.
8:50 p.m. | Juventus eleven
For its part, Juventus is articulated in a 4-3-3 with Wojciech Szczesny as the last bulwark. In front of him, Mattia De Sciglio, Matthijs de Ligt, Daniele Rugani and Alex Sandro take their places. Positioned as sentry, Aaron Ramsey is accompanied by Rodrigo Bentancur and Federico Bernardeschi. Finally, Juan Cuadrado and Cristiano Ronaldo are aligned alongside Alvaro Morata in attack.
