Brutal pre-season: Barcelona to face Juventus, Man United and Real Madrid
There is no doubt that these are intriguing games for football fans, even if they are friendlies, and it will be a demanding start to the new season
Barcelona will go on tour in the United States in the summer where they will play Juventus, Manchester United and Real Madrid in July, according to RAC1.
The Catalan giants will take on Juventus on July 22 before facing the Red Devils three days later and then arch-rivals Real Madrid on July 29.
There is no doubt that these are intriguing games for football fans, even if they are friendlies, and it will be a demanding start to the new season.
However these type of huge clashes, particularly when played overseas, are not favoured by coaches and are not the best recipe to prepare for a new season.
Less still when there is the chance that Barcelona could end up involved in the cups at the start of the season, the Spanish Super Cup, or - less likely - the European Super Cup.
