Barcelona fans will be able to see their team at the Camp Nou this Sunday evening, as Ernesto Valverde's men take on Arsenal in the Joan Gamper Trophy game.
Not all of the Blaugrana's stars will be present for the traditional curtain-raiser, but new signings like Antoine Griezmann, Frenkie de Jong and Neto will be there and the Camp Nou crowd will have a chance to cast their eyes on the summer arrivals.
It was in this match last summer that Lionel Messi announced Barcelona's target of winning the Champions League and they'll go again for Europe's top prize after coming up short in the semi-finals last season.
This isn't the final friendly before the start of Barcelona's new season, as they'll travel to the United States this week, but it will be the last match for Arsenal before the start of the 2019/20 Premier League season next weekend.
Unai Emery will be keen to learn more about his summer signings Gabriel Martinelli, Dani Ceballos and Nicolas Pepe.
As is the case every year, the Gamper match will be an evening of family fun and there will be various activities and concerts around the ground in the build-up to the game.
The official start of the LaLiga Santander season is still a couple of weeks away, but Barcelona are launching their 2019/20 campaign this Sunday.

Joerrrrr ... the "this afternoon" is a bit ambiguous .... already, if they had also set the time of the game, the article would have been almost perfect

Waiting for this to be the definitive takeoff season for Dembelé. That the problems he has had since he arrived have helped him mature and that we can finally see him develop his full potential. For me, the most exciting "signing" of the year (along with De Jong).

nobody considers me racist, but I saw the photo thumbnail of the news, before entering and I thought that the one that comes next to Neto, was Junior. It’s Wagué.

Let’s leave all the negativity from the end of last season behind let’s also stop screaming Valverde Out because as difficult as it seems he is going to be our coach one more year let’s hope he has learned his lesson and that he could end his Barça spell on a high. Let’s all come together and support our beautiful club they have made several exciting signings which I can’t wait to see them play like Frenkie De Jong who has Barça blood running through his veins anyways Visça el Barça and let’s hope at the end of this season we’ll all be proud to be Barça fan again 🔵🔴

JOAN GAMPER TROPHY: It's matchday guys. We play Arsenal at the Camp Nou tonight, a match that we play every year before the season starts in the memory of FC Barcelona's founder, JOAN GAMPER. It is a really nice opportunity for the young players and especially the new signings to express their talent in front of their home crowd. Let's hope we get to see a great mix of youth and experience in this game and hopefully a beautiful game of football. However, we have played only 2 preseason games whereas Arsenal are much far ahead with 7 games already. Obviously they will be much sharper and fitter. Coming onto the lineup, Ter stegen will start for sure. Our back 4, most probably, will be Alba, Umtiti/Lenglet, Pique and Semedo. Hope we'll see Todibo at some point. This is very unlikely but I would love to see De Jong, Aleña and Riqui Puig in the midfield but I just know Valverde will start Busquets and Rakitic for sure. In our attacking trio, I wish to see Dembele from the left, Griezmann down the middle and Rafinha from the right as he has been great in both games that we have played. Let's just hope we see a great game of football. Vamos Boys ❤ Visca El Barça 🔴🔵
