Just as it was at the same stage last pre-season, the Johan Cruyff Stadium is the setting for Barcelona to get back down to business.
The 2021-22 pre-season will look a bit different to normal, however, given that some players are still on their summer holidays and others need to make way in the current transfer window.
Frankly, there seems little point in playing the likes of Miralem Pjanic, Samuel Umtiti and Philippe Coutinho, for example.
All three have no future left at the club if reports are to be believed, and why risk an injury to any of the trio, thereby scuppering any potential deals that could be done.
