Will Barcelona be able to overcome the champions of Europe or will the champions of Europe, FC Bayern München, hand out yet another lesson in football to the Catalans?

Preview: Pep Guardiola’s Bayern set for a first serious test this summer

Bayern has continued to steamroll opponents in preseason. They steamrolled their way to the Telekom Cup recently, beating the dinosaur of the Bundesliga, Hamburger SV, 4-0 and Borussia Mönchengladbach, 1-5.

Barcelona will feature in their Senyera jerseys; these jerseys basically map the Catalan flag. Neymar will not feature in this friendly. This cup will be played in honor of Bayern’s President, Uli Hoeness.

Hoeness confessed that he was guilty of tax fraud prior to the Champions League final in Wembley. He offered to resign but Bayern refused to accept his request. Barcelona was famously embarrassed by Jupp Heynckes’ Bayern in the Champions League semifinals in April and May this year. How will the kings of Europe fare against their coach, Pep Guardiola’s former side, especially without their former coach Tito Vilanova?
