Barcelona will face Tottenham Hotspur in the Joan Gamper trophy friendly as part of their final preseason preparations ahead of the 2023/24 La Liga season.
Xavi’s men are reigning Spanish champions and have so far enjoyed a successful preseason with four wins from five, with notable victories against Real Madrid and AC Milan.
Spurs will also be playing their final preseason game before their Premier League campaign kicks off with a tough away clash with Brentford on Sunday.
Spurs will have Harry Kane, who is hot off the back of scoring four against Shakhtar Donetsk at the weekend. According to reports, Bayern Munich have had their latest offer for the talisman rejected with his future is still up in the air.
The match is set to kick off at 8 p.m. local time (7 p.m. UK) at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium, which is the Catalans’ first-ever game at their temporary home while Camp Nou undergoes its renovation.

In their last friendly, Xavi put out a much more rotated side than against Real Madrid in Dallas. It’s expected he could return to a stronger side to face Tottenham as he hopes to get his first XI to match fitness ahead of the La Liga season.
Barcelona predicted lineup (4-3-3): Pena (GK) — Ronald Araujo, Joules Kounde, Eric Garcia, Alex Balde — Frenkie De Jong, Pedri, Oriel Romeu — Raphinha, Ansu Fati, Robert Lewandowski.
For Spurs, Ange Postecoglou will be hoping to continue his ultra-attacking play that entertained the Tottenham faithful at the weekend in their 5-1 victory over Shakhtar. New signings Guglielmo Vicario and Destiny Udogie both played 90 minutes in that win and could see more minutes to get their match fitness up.
