Barcelona capped off their pre-season preparations with a win against Tottenham Hotspur in the annual Joan Gamper Trophy. A much-changed Spurs side without the likes of Harry Kane and Son Heung-min led for much of the evening at Barca's temporary home of the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys, but quality eventually told as Xavi's men rallied to secure a late victory. Ange Postecoglou will have again been pleased by the progress his team is showing in possession but defensive frailties remain ahead of Sunday's Premier League opener at Brentford. Barcelona took the lead with their first attack just three minutes in. Spurs were quickly caught in transition and Raphinha was able to cross for Robert Lewandowski, who peeled back away from Pedro Porro and Eric Dier to slot home from close range. The hosts should have added a second soon after. Lewandowski's pass into the box was deflected on by Porro and into the path of Raphinha, but he was unable to keep his composure and fired over. After failing to clear the danger for Barca's opener, Davinson Sanchez nearly redeemed himself at the other end when he rose highest to meet a cleverly-worked corner routine, but his looping header was held by Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Spurs then won the ball back high up the pitch and carved out another half-chance when Richarlison picked up the ball just inside the Barcelona box, only for Eric Garcia to quickly close him down and block his shot. Lewandowski continued his search for a second goal with a thunderous drive from 25 yards, but Guglielmo Vicario was able to parry the ball to safety. Midway through the first half, Tottenham found themselves level.

His technical excellence was an asset in playing from the back.

Asked to be subbed off after a bombarding run down the right that was stopped by Davinson Sanchez — hopefully — as a precaution to avoid further discomfort.

However, given the nature of this fixture across the last few years, nobody should be surprised. Barcelona took the lead through Lamine Yamal, but it was equalised through Ricard Sanchez, who found the near post right before half-time. They then carried that momentum into the second-half, and scored the second in the 60th minute, after which Barcelona and Granada both scored within five minutes. With Barcelona now trailing , Lamine Yamal took control of matters into his own hand once again, scoring a sensational goal into the bottom corner. Both team got a couple of chances in the dying minutes, but could not find a way through, with the game finishing Understandably rough after a four-month lay-off, but that cannot excuse the multiple mistakes he made today, including carelessly giving away the ball several times. A few mistakes in the opening minutes, but grew into the game, playing some line-breaking passes into midfield, and supporting Lamine Yamal on the right. Made a stupid error for the second goal, trying to close into Pau Cubarsi, who won the header, creating space for Uzuni. Playing well beyond his years once again, had the right side of the defence completely under control with his passing. Put his body on the line to defend multiple times, too.
