Barcelona vs Man City team news
Both teams are still missing the bulk of their squad who played at international tournaments this summer, but there will still be plenty of quality on show.
Raphinha and Ilkay Gundogan and Jules Kounde will join up with the Barcelona squad after this game, leaving the likes of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen as one of few regular first-team stars.
Man City’s Ederson will be pushing for another start after getting the nod against AC Milan. Josh Wilson-Esbrand and Rico Lewis should get further opportunities, with Erling Haaland also in the squad.
