La Liga champions Barcelona will face off against Europa League winners Chelsea in a preseason friendly on Tuesday, July 23, in Saitama Stadium in Japan.
The club friendly will mark Barcelona's first preseason contest of the summer and will serve as an opportunity for B team players to showcase their talent ahead of the 2019-20 La Liga campaign. The team will be without the likes of Lionel Messi, Philippe Coutinho and Luis Suarez after all three participated in this year's Copa America.
Chelsea looks to bounce back after falling 1–0 to Japanese side Kawasaki Frontale on Friday.
