On Wednesday morning, the Spanish team Barcelona faces its English rival, Manchester City, in a friendly match as part of the two teams’ preparations for the new football season 2024-2025.
Manchester City started its friendly matches early by facing Celtic of Scotland and Milan of Italy, and lost in both matches.
While Barcelona will play its first match in the USA tour against Manchester City, after which it will face both Spanish Real Madrid and Milan.
The Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo” revealed Barcelona’s expected lineup for its friendly match at dawn on Wednesday against Manchester City.
The formation witnessed big surprises from Hansi Flick, who wants to take advantage of the absence of some of the key players to try out some talents and give the opportunity to those returning from long-term injuries to return to match sensitivity before the start of the official season matches.
Barcelona’s formation was as follows:
Goalkeeper: Iñaki Peña
Defense line: Hector Forte, Christensen, Inigo Martinez, Balde
Midfield: Romeo, Casado, Marc Bernal
Attack line: Pau Victor, Lewandowski, Noah Darwish
It is noteworthy that Flick is counting a lot on the Spanish full-back Alejandro Balde in order to repeat the experience of Alphonso Davies at Bayern, and the German coach also places a lot of hopes on the talented German star Noah Darwish.
