The whites beat Juventus 2-0, while the Catalans did the same against the New York Red Bulls
Nice farewell to the US tour for Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, who played their last friendly on US soil this morning. The Whites, already set on the European Super Cup against Eintracht, beat Juventus thanks to goals from Karim Benzema, from the penalty spot, and Marco Asensio. The Catalans did the same when they beat New York to the same result with goals from Dembelé and Memphis.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men leave the United States with a loss, a draw and a win, ending their pre-season matches. The meringues, who lost to their perennial rivals in their first friendly of the tour, managed to leave with a good feeling after a preseason in which the results were not on their side.
The Blaugrana, for their part, left the United States after an almost flawless tour, in which only Juventus did not give in to the team led by Xavi Hernández. The Catalans will conclude their preseason with a final friendly on August 7 against Pumas, which has included a longtime acquaintance of the culé fans as Dani Alves, on the occasion of the Joan Gamper Trophy that Roma were originally supposed to attend.
But it won’t be the last friendly for the Catalan team, which has a solidarity appointment that will bring them to Manchester City on August 24 with the aim of raising money in the fight against ALS. The clash with both teams aims to make this neurodegenerative disease visible with Juan Carlos Unzué as the visible head.
