Joan Garcia, Rashford and Roony pose with Joan Gamper Trophy

It’s almost time for FC Barcelona fans to enjoy the latest edition of the Joan Gamper Trophy, with Como 1907 the special guests for the event on Sunday 10 August. It is always a special day for the entire squad, but particularly so for the three new arrivals for the 2025/26 season, and Joan Garcia, Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji got to savour the Gamper atmosphere first with a traditional photo in the run-up to the celebrations.

The new FC Barcelona signings were all smiles next to the cup during the photo session at the Ciutat Esportiva. A special build-up for Joan Garcia, Marcus Rashford and Roony Bardghji, who are set to play in front of the local blaugrana fans for the first time. Hansi Flick’s entire squad will be present for the celebrations at the Estadi Johan Cruyff and welcomed by the fans from 8.05pm CEST ahead of the game.  

Final pre-match training session

There was more going on in addition to the photos with the Gamper Trophy of course, with the Ciutat Esportiva hosting another training session as Hansi Flick and the squad prepare for the match against Cesc Fàbregas’ Como. Dani Olmo trained separately as a precaution and, as has been reported, Robert Lewandowski sat out due to injury. 

The countdown to the 60th Joan Gamper Trophy has begun. A day full of emotion and definitely worth keeping a close eye on. Don’t forget you can watch the match live via the FC Barcelona YouTube channel. Unmissable!
