This Tuesday, Barcelona and Tottenham disputed the Joan Gamper Trophy, at the Estadio Olímpico Lluís Companys, in Catalonia, in what marked the last pre-season friendly of the two teams. The Spanish team won 4-2. Lewandoswki, Ferran Torres, Ansu Fati and Abde scored for Barça, while Skipp scored twice for the English team.
The scoreboard opened just two minutes into the first half. Oriol Romeu recovered the ball inside the Barcelona area. Raphinha was released at speed on the right and made a great cross for Lewandowski, who hit well and scored 1-0 for Barcelona.
With 23 minutes, Tottenham reacted. Reguilón crossed low in the Barcelona area and Lo Celso arrived in the final, but on the crossbar. The ball bounced back at Oliver Skipp’s feet, who completed for the goal and left everything the same. With 31 minutes, Araújo felt an injury and left the field for Sergi Roberto to enter.
The English comeback happened in the 36th minute. With space on the left, Perisic lifted the ball in the area and Skipp appeared again, this time as a surprise element, to head it into the back of the Catalan net and make it 2-1.
Already 15 minutes into the second stage, coach Xavi promoted several substitutions in the team that started the confrontation in an attempt to tie the game. Young Lamine Yamal sprinted to the right, and the tie came out. The Spaniard played for Ferran Torres, who finished for the goal: 2 to 2.
With another turn in the match, Barcelona got the third goal. Ferran Torres played for Ansu Fati, who came face to face with the goalkeeper and did not forgive. Tottenham were disorganized. Abde received a low cross from Fermín López and saved Barça’s fourth, which closed the score at 4-2.
