There was a club frinedly match between manchester City and Barcelona at Spotify Camp Nou in last night. The match became drawn with 3-3 scoreline. Though it was a friendly match, both team has played with their best eleven from first or from the middle of the game. Most of the people had heavy focus on this match though it was a friendly. We all know that Barcelona is now going through a transition period. They are now trying to get back their right track under Xavi. On the other hand, City is now at their best form in history. So everybody was very keen to know how Xavi's boys do with their new signing against City. I must say that Barcelona was clearly in the dominating position in this match and obviously it is a forecast from Barcelona that they are ready to fight again for all possible war.
Both manager select their 1st eleven benching some of their regular starter. Ederson, Haland, Bruyne, Cancelo, Rodri was not at 1st eleven from City side. On the other hand Xavi benched Lewa, Dembele, Stegen, Pedri, Gavi etc. But at 2nd half, both manager substitute almost all of their regular players.
One can not imagine how much dominating Barcelona was in this match in by seeing the scoreline. 1st goal conceded by Barcelona was only for a silly mistake from Inaki Pena, Barcelona 2nd choice goalkeeper. And the 3rd goal they conceded from penalty, there was a controversy whether it was a penalty or not. On the other hand All of the three goals from Barcelona was solid enough.
Anyway, this is just a friendly match. But it is clear message from Barcelona that they shouldn't be neglected as some previous years. Thanks a lot. Stay tuned.
