Barcelona are already focusing on their friendly against Manchester City on the Soccer Champions Tour. Hansi Flick’s side had two new additions to their squad on Monday: Raphinha and Ilkay Gundogan.
Both the Brazilian and the German returned to routine in their first training session in the United States, with goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen also fully integrated with his teammates.
Hansi Flick had all 31 players called up on American soil for the session. The sun and humidity marked the acclimatisation of the Catalans to what will be their new reality during these days on tour.
Barcelona will face Manchester City on Wednesday in the first test of the season. The German coach’s debut came with a 1-0 win over Olot thanks to Pablo Torre’s goal at the start of the second half.
