FC Barcelona aim to make it a 'Como' victory! Another club friendly match is on the cards this Monday, with a special encounter between La Liga giants FC Barcelona and Serie A newcomers Como in the Gamper Trophy. Both teams have been in fine form recently, but with Barcelona's superior squad depth, they're the favourites to continue their winning streak against Como. Last season, Barcelona clinched the La Liga title, the Copa del Rey, and the Spanish Super Cup. Xavi Hernandez's tactical prowess earned widespread acclaim, with the attacking trident and the midfield contributing to an exciting spectacle. Although limited by finances this summer, Barcelona have brought in goalkeeper Juan Garcia and, on loan, Manchester United's Marcus Rashford. The squad remains stable, and they’ll be looking to build on last season's success with a consistent tactical system. Barcelona's Asian tour was a resounding success, netting 15 goals in three games against Vissel Kobe, FC Seoul, and Daegu FC. Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Pablo Gavi all found the net, showcasing the attacking firepower of last season's top La Liga scorers. Facing Como, a European side, will offer a good test of the team’s match fitness. Remember, the Gamper Trophy is a Barcelona tradition, with the club winning it 11 times between 2013 and 2023, before losing to Monaco last year. During that run, they’ve defeated Italian sides Roma (2015), Sampdoria (2016), and Juventus (2021), scoring three goals in each game. Expect another convincing win for the Blaugrana. Como, newly promoted to Serie A last season, finished tenth. This summer, Como have been active in the transfer market, signing players like Jesus Rodriguez, N. Gounou, and Martin Baturina, spending over €100 million, showing their ambition for the new season. In their recent friendlies, Como have impressed, scoring three goals in each of their four wins against Lille, Al-Ahli, Ajax, and Real Betis, suggesting they are confident in taking on Barcelona. It's worth noting that Como have former Barcelona players in their ranks, including coach Cesc Fabregas and veteran Sergi Roberto, who will be facing their former club. #FCBarcelona #Como #GamperTrophy #ClubFriendly #Football
