Barcelona are back in action with another pre-season friendly this weekend as they take on Girona at the Estadi Johan Cruyff on Saturday. Barcelona have improved under Ronald Koeman and will look to prepare for a gruelling new season this month.
Girona narrowly missed out on promotion to La Liga last season and will want to mount another promotion bid this year. The Catalan outfit has impressive players in its ranks and can potentially trouble Barcelona this weekend.
Barcelona, on the other hand, have been active in the transfer market and their new signing could make a mark in this match. The Blaugrana also have several young talents and their La Masia products will want to make the most of their opportunities in this game.
