Barcelona finished their preseason preparations with their third win in three games, beating Elche 1-0 at Camp Nou to win the 2020 Joan Gamper Trophy thanks to an early goal for Antoine Griezmann. Barça looked slow and boring in the first half but turned up the heat in the second, with enough positive signs to be somewhat optimistic for the season debut next week.
