Barcelona finished their preseason in style with a win in the Joan Gamper Trophy, the traditional Camp Nou opener. This time the Blaugrana dominated Chapecoense on their way to an easy 5-0 victory, and the heroes and victims from last year’s tragedy were honored as well. It was a great night overall, and we saw another good performance from Barça.
FIRST HALF
Because this is Barcelona against a small Brazilian team, this was a glorified training session where the Blaugrana attacked, attacked, attacked, and attacked some more. They created a lot of chances, and Chapecoense goalkeeper Elias made an incredible number of saves.
