Barcelona vs Juventus LIVE: Xavi & co AIM to start season with victory

Barcelona vs Juventus LIVE: At Levi’s Stadium in California, Barcelona and Juventus will each start their preseason campaigns on Saturday. With games against Arsenal in Los Angeles, Real Madrid in Dallas, and AC Milan in Las Vegas following, Xavi Hernández’s squad will play four matches on American soil.

Barcelona had a rejuvenation under manager Xavi last season. They won the La Liga title and re-established themselves as the top club in Spain. Now, in Xavi’s second full season in charge, they aim to achieve even more. It all begins with a good preseason.

Juventus performed well on the field last season. However, their position in the standings didn’t reflect their performance. This was due to a point deduction imposed on the club for capital gains violations. As a result, the Bianconeri finished in seventh place. But with a clean slate this season, the upcoming match marks the unofficial start of another title quest for Italy’s most successful club.

It will be Barça and Juventus’ eighth friendly encounter. The most recent occurred in Dallas, USA, during the previous campaign when Dembélé’s two goals enabled the blaugranes to share the victory in a 2-2 tie.

Five of the seven additional meetings have taken place in the USA. The other two games, a 2-2 draw in 2005 and a 3-0 victory for Barça in 2021, also occurred in Joan Gamper Trophy contests at Spotify Camp Nou.

All the players that were available, including newcomer Oriol Romeu, worked out at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper during the final practise before leaving for the US. With the exception of Gavi, who is still missing after contracting a stomach virus, though.
