As has happened on several occasions, Real Madrid and Barcelona will return to the United States to play a classic pre-season game in the summer, and the city of Los Angeles will be a candidate to host the event.
According to ESPN this Friday, several close sources announced that the US could see a new classic next summer. In addition to Los Angeles, another candidate city to host this match is San Francisco.
However, the media clarified that it is too early to talk about the details, which have not yet been specified. On July 24, 2022, Madrid and Barça met at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas in front of almost 63,000 spectators. That match was won by those coached by Javi Hernandez, scoring Rafinha’s only goal.
Earlier, in 2017, they crossed for the first time in North America. This time in Miami. The score also went to the side of the Catalans (3-2). On two occasions when the most popular match in the world at club level took place in the United States, Barcelona won it.
Now it seems that the intention is to find a new destination on the West Coast to further expand these clashes. In the middle of the year, the International Champions Cup is played in the USA, a pre-season tournament in which clubs from five major European leagues participate.
In the latest edition, for example, FC Barcelona ended their tour against Inter Miami, Juventus and the New York Red Bulls. While Real Madrid met with Juventus, América and Chivas de Guadalajara.
