On Tuesday, Eusebio’s Barça B played a friendly against Tercera División side Cornellà at the Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper. The match was used to give playtime to those who currently do not feature much in the league. The game ended in a 3-0 victory for the home side, with the goalscorers being Jean-Marie Dongou, Kiko Femenía and Gerard Deulofeu.
The first preseason game for the 2013-14 season has been announced. FC Barcelona will play a friendly match at the Allianz Arena in Munich against Bayern Munich, on Wednesday, the 24th of July. Both clubs began discussing the possibility of a match months ago, and on Wednesday the game was officially announced during the ECA General Assembly (European Club Association), currently meeting in Doha, Qatar. The match will be a friendly for charity, therefore all of the proceeds generated by the match will go to social programs.

FC Barcelona’s new away colors will make their official debut on Saturday during the friendly in Paris with PSG. The new jerseys will sport an adventurous orange – yellow fade and mirror in some ways the new design of the home jerseys for the coming season. I hated the new design the minute I saw it, but after some reflection…I still hate it.
What about you?
