Three-time reigning Premier League champions Manchester City will face Spanish powerhouse Barcelona in an FC Series friendly at Camping World Stadium on Tuesday

Barcelona：

Barcelona will kick off their 2024-25 preparations with a glamour friendly against Premier League champions Manchester City on Tuesday evening. This match marks the beginning of a new era under the leadership of Hansi Flick, who faces immediate pressure to deliver trophies. Barcelona finished second in La Liga last season and were eliminated in the quarter-finals of both the Champions League and Copa del Rey. The Catalan giants ended the season with four straight league wins, securing second place ahead of Girona. Their pre-season schedule includes high-profile matches against Man City, Real Madrid, and AC Milan as part of their US Tour. Following these friendlies, Barcelona will play Monaco in the Joan Gamper Trophy on August 12 before opening their La Liga season away to Valencia on August 17. So far, Barcelona's only summer signing is Pau Victor from Girona, but they are expected to be active in the transfer market, targeting Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams.

Manchester City：

Manchester City, led by Pep Guardiola, have already played two friendlies in the United States, suffering defeats to Celtic (4-3) and AC Milan (3-2). The Citizens will conclude their US Tour with matches against Barcelona and Chelsea. City are preparing for their new campaign, which begins with the Community Shield against Manchester United on August 10, followed by their Premier League opener away to Chelsea on August 18. Despite winning a fourth straight Premier League title last season, City fell short in the Champions League and FA Cup, making it an imperfect 2023-24 campaign. The squad has seen the arrival of Savinho from Troyes, a 20-year-old expected to play a significant role next season. Guardiola's side will be looking to sharpen up and integrate returning players as they aim to start the new season strongly.

Prediction:  2-2
