In a great collective play by Barcelona, Lewandowski filtered a pass between lines to Pedri, who got rid of the goalkeeper and finished with great quality. In this way, the 'Culés' defeated Pumas 2-0 in the Joan Gamper Tournament.
The azulgranas close the preseason stage with the traditional Joan Gamper Trophy match. After struggling to close with the opponent, the Catalans will face a Mexican rival who will arrive with a familiar face: Dani Alves. The Brazilian was in Xavi Hernandez's squad until last season and returns to Camp Nou for the final farewell.
Looking forward to the presentation in front of their fans, Barcelona hopes to give minutes to Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, Jules Koundé, Andreas Christensen, Franck Kessié, and the young Pablo Torre. In addition, Xavi will have the renewed Ousmane Dembélé and the experienced Marc-André Ter Stegen, Jordi Alba, or Sergio Busquets.
On the other hand, Pumas UNAM interrupted its activities in the Apertura of the Liga MX, where they won one match and drew five. Despite that, it will be a special day for the team led by Andrés Lillini, as they plan to align their top figure from the beginning: Dani Alves, with a past in the blaugrana store.
