Pep Guardiola will once again face his beloved Barcelona, this time with a new head Unfortunately for the City boss his team have lost both pre-season friendlies so far. Although two losses is never great, there have been positives. Oscar Bobb has looked like a first team contender for next season with three assists and one goal in two games. Erling Haaland looks sharper than ever.
There’s no doubt Hansi Flick has talent at his disposal. Four of his Barcelona squad won the Euros with Spain but will be having a well-earned rest during this game.
