Barcelona could face Estudiantes de La Plata in Joan Gamper Trophy at Camp Nou

  /  autty

Estudiantes de La Plata may be Barcelona's opponents in the annual Joan Gamper Trophy, which takes place at the Camp Nou before the beginning of each season.

The Argentine team are the main candidates to play against the Blaugrana and celebrate the 10 years that have passed since the Club World Cup final between the two sides.

Back in 2009 Alejandro Sabella's men put Pep Guardiola's side on the ropes, as they took the lead 36 minutes into the game.

Pedro Rodriguez equalised late in the second half and Lionel Messi completed the comeback in extra-time.

Gremio were Barcelona's first option to play the friendly game, but the Brazilian club's schedule may not permit a trip to Spain.

Chapecoense and Boca Juniors are the only South American teams that have participated in the match so far.
