The International Champions Cup carries on with a clash between Barcelona and Tottenham at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Los Angeles. For the Blaugrana, this will kick off their campaign in this pre-season tournament while their opponent enters this clash on the back of victories.
The north London giant enjoyed a 4-1 victory over Roma while also beating Southend 6-0. These wins came despite the fact that Mauricio Pochettino is without a number of his star names.
Due to the World Cup, the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli, Kieran Trippier, Danny Rose, Toby Alderweireld, Jan Vertonghen are yet to return from holiday. Regardless, the English outfit still has Serge Aurier, Christian Eriksen, Lucas Moura, Erik Lamela, and Heung-min Son at their disposal.
As for the Catalan giant, they will be without star forward Lionel Messi. This will give Ernesto Valverde a golden opportunity to test his men without relying on the Argentine icon.
Furthermore, a number of summer signings could make their Barcelona debut in this clash. One of them is Malcom, the Brazilian who came close to joining Roma only for the Spanish giant to hijack the deal. Arthur and Clement Lenglet could also make their first appearances since completing their Camp Nou moves.
