The game will be held in honour of former Barcelona goalkeeper and coach, Juan Carlos Unzué. The Barca legend was diagnosed with ALS over two years ago.

Why are Manchester City playing?

Manchester City’s coach, Pep Guardiola, was a former teammate of Unzué at Barcelona. Unzué was also part of Guardiola’s coaching staff at the Catalan club and the Man City manager described it as an honour to play in the special game.

"We want to thank Barca for inviting us to this wonderful venue. We will tell our players why this matters so much. It is admirable. I am very happy to come," he said.
