Manchester City will face Barcelona in a friendly exhibition match at the Nou Camp this week. Yes, you read that correctly.

The European heavyweights will duel for a good cause. Former Barcelona goalkeeper and coach Juan Carlos Unsue has the incurable disease ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and proceeds from the match will raise funds in support.

Pep Guardiola will rotate his starting XI but a full complement of first-team players are expected to travel to the Catalan city as part of the squad.

City have started the 2022/23 Premier League season in decent form with two victories followed up by a gutsy comeback to draw 3-3 with Newcastle at the weekend.

Barcelona have been dogged by financial issues lately amid a hefty spending spree on some of the world’s finest talents, but boss Xavi will hope to get things right on the pitch.
