Mamelodi Sundowns v Barcelona Match Preview, 5/16/18

Mamelodi Sundowns are hoping to make history and beat Spanish La Liga giants Barcelona as the two sides meet in an international friendly on Wednesday.

The Brazilians will welcome the Catalan giants for the second time in South Africa following their first meeting at Loftus Versfeld Stadium in 2007.

Although Pitso Mosimane was not in charge of the side back then, but ex-coach Gordon Igesund, the former Bafana Bafana boss will want to brighten his curriculum vitae with a win against the world’s best side.

Barca had the likes of Brazilian legends Ronaldinho, Cameroon’s Samuel Eto’o and others, as they clinched a 2-1 win in front of a packed Loftus venue, but the retired Surprise Moriri netted for the hosts.
