Barcelona and Manchester City will be taking part in a mid-season friendly which be hosted by the Catalans at their home turf Camp Nou.
While the game has left many thinking why two of the Europe’s giants are participating in a mid-season friendly, it will be a game for charity.
The two sides are will clash in this game know as “A Great Game for a Greater Cause”, to support the City boss Pep Guardiola’s former assistant coach of Juan Carlos Unzue.
The former assistant coach was suffering from the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [ALS] disease back in 2020 and has now set up an ALS research.
Unzue was an assistant coach at the Catalan club from 2003-2010, where he was deputy to Frank Rijkaard [2003-2008] and then Pep Guardiola [2008-2012].
He took the job again with Barca when Luis Enrique was the manager from 2014-2017. Unzue also managed Celta Vigo and Girona as their first team coach before the ALS forced him to quit the job.
Barcelona vs Manchester City: Pep Guardiola with his former assistant manager Juan Carlos Unzue.
Both Barcelona and City are on the back of some energising form as the Catalans downed Real Sociedad 4-1 in their last game, whereas Pep’s side fought in an end-to-end thriller in a 3-3 draw with Newcastle United.
While the game maybe a one for the charity, Xavi and Pep are expected to hand in chances to their youth talents alongside some first-team stars.
