Hansi Flick’s Barcelona will face Monaco in the Joan Gamper Trophy on Monday, in a meeting that will also serve as a presentation of Dani Olmo to the fans.
Barcelona’s new project led by Hansi Flick will be presented to their fans on Monday at the Joan Gamper Trophy against AS Monaco (20.00 CEST), which will also serve as the presentation of Dani Olmo.
It will be the moment to see if the signs of the new team are reflected on the pitch in a season in which the Catalans have rebuilt themselves after last season’s flop with Xavi Hernandez at the helm.
There are a few new additions to the squad at the moment. Barcelona have signed young forward Pau Victor, who played on loan last year at the academy and Dani Olmo.
Olmo is expected to address the fans at the pre-match team presentation at Montjuic, which will be Barcelona’s home until the end of this year, as the new Spotify Camp Nou is expected to be available in December.
Against Monaco it will also be time for Lamine Yamal, who has recently returned to training and, like Ferran Torres, also missed the United States tour.
For the club’s 125th anniversary Gamper, the Catalan giants have designed a pre-match party, with musical performances and entertainment that will start two and a half hours before kick-off.
