Barça 2024-25 will begin the most media phase of the preseason, the tour of the United States. The Barça expedition, with many absences between injuries, vacations and calls for the Olympic Games in Paris, will fly this Sunday afternoon, July 28, to Orlando, the first place of a ‘tournée’ that will take the team now managed by Hansi Flick to play consecutively against Manchester City, Real Madrid and Milan, to return to Barcelona on Wednesday, August 7. The German coach gave a few days of rest to his players after a tough season of training at the Ciutat Esportiva that started on the 11th, after medical examinations the previous day. The culé coach did not waste Sunday morning’s session to continue fine-tuning his players.
The club spread photos on its social networks of the collective work in Sant Joan Despí, on a sunny morning dominated by summer heat, at a temperature of 29 degrees. Goalkeeper Marc André ter Stegen has been exercising hard after starting to leave the holidays after the Euro Cup which he always watched from the bench of the German team.
Flick will offer the list of called, where no news is expected. Ter Stegen, Iñaki Peña, Balde, Iñigo Martínez, Andreas Christensen, Jules Koundé, Oriol Romeu, Ilkay Gündogan, Vitor Roque, Robert Lewandowski and Raphinha flew with footballers returning from loan, such as Clement Lenglet, Pablo Torre , Julián Araujo and Alex Valle. The list of travelers will have a large representation of young players, who have been an active part in these early days in the collective work: Marc Casadó, Héctor Fort, Ander Astralaga Marc Bernal, Noah Darvich, Mika Faye, Gerard Martín and Unai Hernández. The club’s recent official addition, Pau Víctor, the reserve team’s top scorer last season, will do the same, although he was previously playing on loan for Girona and will now play as an asset. The injured Ansu Fati, Gavi, Pedri, Ronald Araujo and Frenkie de Jong will miss the tour as well as new Euro Cup champions Lamine Yamal and Ferran Torres, who are enjoying a much-needed rest. Fermín López, Pau Cubarsí and Eric Garcia have been classified in the Spanish team for the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games.
At four in the afternoon the FC Barcelona expedition is scheduled to depart on charter flight CX8787 to Orlando. According to the plan, at 8:00 pm local time (2:00 am Spanish time), FC Barcelona is scheduled to land at Orlando airport.
