This season will see Barcelona in an unusual setting as the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys will serve as their fortress during the renovation of Camp Nou. Historically, this ground has been a beacon of significant events, having hosted the 1992 Summer Olympics. For Barcelona, the transition to this stadium may seem trivial, especially when their sights are set on lifting the Joan Gamper Trophy for the 46th time. Their recent 6-0 triumph against the Mexican side UNAM in the 2022 edition of this trophy stands testament to their ambitions.
Tottenham’s Eventful Pre-Season
Tottenham’s pre-season has been peppered with both excitement and controversy. The whirlwind of speculation surrounding their star player, Harry Kane, has been a major talking point. However, in a recent match against Shakhtar, Kane silenced his critics with a staggering four-goal performance, showcasing his unparalleled class and commitment. Additionally, young gun Dane Scarlett displayed glimpses of his potential, which suggests that Spurs’ future is in good hands.
Team News and Injuries
Barcelona: Xavi faces some challenges with injuries. Key players like Gavi (back issues) and Andreas Christensen (ankle injury) are in the recovery phase. There are concerns over Ilkay Gundogan due to adductor discomfort, and Inigo Martinez’s foot injury might keep him off the field for the beginning of the season. Given these factors, Xavi is expected to field the best available XI.
Tottenham: For Tottenham, the list of injury woes is lengthy. With players like Ryan Sessegnon, Rodrigo Bentancur, and Bryan Gil sidelined, their coach, Postecoglou, faces an uphill task in finalising the starting lineup. However, there’s a ray of hope as Brazilian star Richarlison is anticipated to be fit for the match.
