Barcelona to Host Manchester City in Special Charity Football Game After New Season Officially Starts

• Barcelona and Manchester City will compete in a special friendly charity game after their seasons start
• The charity game is being planned to raise funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) awareness
• Manchester City will travel to Spain for the game between matches against Newcastle United and Crystal Palace

Football fans won’t have to wait too long to see Barcelona and Manchester City clash.

The town teams will meet in a special charity-friendly game that is due to take place once the new season kicks off.

The charity game is being planned to raise funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) awareness. It is in honour of a former Barcelona player and assistant coach, Juan Carlos Unzue.

Unzue has a close bond with Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola and so City were chosen as the ideal opponent. He worked as FC Barcelona’s goalkeeping coach from 2003 to 2010, working alongside Pep Guardiola for two years, The Athletic reported.
