Hopefully everyone can be there and build confidence coming into the second season. we are definately disadvantaged with the SuperCopa but we were Copa Del Rey champions not La Liga champions so thats were we belong. Hopefully a 2-0 win can do us well heading into the second leg...
Visa el Barca

I don't like how the Gamper Cup is scheduled. Maybe they'll change it, otherwise it would just be the B team playing in it.

Don't the B team usually play the Gamper trophy

Not entirely, a good number of first team players play. But with this schedule, I'm not entirely sure that will happen.

Official: Manchester United confirm they will play a friendly game against Barcelona in Gothenburg, Sweden on Wednesday 8 August #fcblive

This looks like a good prep... I'm excited

YES THEY ARE COMING TO SWEDEN!!

which is terrible because you live in Chile, or......

Not far from me at all, I wonder how I could get tickets. Would be worth going.

Manchester again!

khaled should update first post with a date of this friendly: Official: Barcelona will play a friendly game against Dinamo Bucarest on Saturday 11 August at 20:15 in Bucarest, Romania

Friendly against United in Sweden sold out in under an hour...Lots of complaints that not enough safeguards were in place to prevent ticket brokers and others from stockpiling tickets and turning around to sell them at inflated prices

They are gonna release new tickets though I heard. I orginally wanted to go but was asleep at the time they started selling the tickets (it was REALLY early in the morning). Hopefully I'll get to buy one this time. Hopefully Messi will have a proper pre season this time so I get to see him vs. Man U (if I do get a ticket)

Is that Tangier? Real Madrid were going to play them.

Your joking. I was gonna but tickets for that game, mother of god....

Be a good preseason for JDS, Barta, Fontas and Villa. Barta I find, in a few years time could literally be a Barca starter in defense. He has all the qualties of being a great defender and he also provides height. JDS as well with Kieta going, first few tests as a DM and seeing whether he is decent to replace Busquests... Fontas, well if he doesn't get sold then hopefully he will be 100% fit and ready to show that he has improve in his fitness levels... Villa, hopefully scores goals and gains confidence leading up to SuperCopa!

- 1st game against Real Sociedad at Camp Nou, (Real vs Valencia)
- Barcelona vs Real Madrid on 7 October.
- Real Madrid vs Barcelona on 3 March.

La Liga Schedule (official): http://www.ara.cat/esports/barca/Consulta-calendari-Lliga-divisio-temporada_0_734326694.html

I'm going to enjoy watching the Barca vs PSG game. My favorite player from outside of Barcelona plays there. I'm talking about Javier Pastore of course.

Tangier? The city in morroco?

BTW, I watched the barcelona game in dallas last year. Was great to see them play, but no messi

No Villa for pre-season.Bad news.And he wont play the 2 ties against Madrid either.Very bad news.Was hoping he would have a solid pre-season and be fit and raring to go once season starts.
So thats Thiago and Villa out.Our bad luck with injuries continues.

Thiago, Cuena and Villa won't play preseason...
Puyol and Alves could join the group soon...
Barca preseason starts on 16 July, Puyol will start training on 23 July and the rest Spanish players on 30 July.

Why wont Villa play?

It seems that he didn't recover yet.. let's wait for next week, so everything would be clear..

What happened with Alves?
