They could return to New York as part of this year’s trip, too.

Madrid, meanwhile, faced Club America in San Francisco and Juventus in Los Angeles as part of their preparation for the current campaign.

Juventus — who along with Madrid and Barca are the third team left pushing for a European Super League — could also return to the States for what would be a series of pre-season friendlies despite their current institutional problems, while sources say Premier League involvement is also being looked into.

Domestically, Madrid and Barca will play each other three times in just over a month. They meet in the two-legged Copa del Rey semifinal on March 2 and April 5, with a league fixture at Camp Nou sandwiched between those games in the middle of March.

That will take the number of official games between the sides this season to five, with Barca recently beating 3-1 Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final, but taking the match to the States remains appealing to them both.

They feel the American market is attractive from an economic point of view and in terms of increasing their fan base.

Barca and Real planning 2023 preseason Clásico in United States

EL CLASICO

by Chris Moore February 10, 2023

Spanish rivals Barcelona and Real Madrid are reportedly attempting to organize a friendly version of El Clásico in the United States in the summer of 2023. Sources tell ESPN that the two clubs want to build off of the success of previous Clásico matchups Stateside.

The top two teams currently in the LaLiga table played in front of nearly 62,000 fans outside of Las Vegas last summer. State-of-the-art Allegiant Stadium hosted the match that saw Raphinha score the sole goal for Barca.

Americans first caught a glimpse of El Clásico in 2017 when Barca and Real Madrid played in Miami. Also won by Barca, the thrilling game ended 3-2 in front of 66,000 people. Superstar Lionel Messi scored inside the first four minutes of the match on the night.

The idea this time would be to find a venue on the west coast, with Los Angeles and San Francisco two of the options on the table, says ESPN.

Rivalry is among best in the world

EL Clásico is widely considered one of, if not, the most important rivalries in club soccer. The two teams have met in various competitions over 280 times in their history. Barca currently holds a narrow lead in Clásico wins with 118. Real Madrid has managed to beat their rivals 105 times in the history of the matchup.

Massive European clubs have been coming Stateside to play summer friendlies more often over the last decade. Soccer in the U.S. is obviously growing, but support for the sport still lags behind much of Europe and South America. Nevertheless, these teams want to tap into the sprouting market to help expand their reach beyond Europe.

Barca and Real are set to face each other three more times in the span of about a month later this season. The two first have a Copa del Rey semifinal first leg on March 2nd. Then Barca will host their rivals in a LaLiga matchup on March 19th. Finally, the Copa del Rey second leg game will take place on April 5th. Barca currently hold an eight point advantage over Real in the Spanish league standings.

Barcelona beat Real Madrid in Miami in the International Champions Cup. The victory allowed the Catalans to score nine points and become the winner of the American division of the tournament.

With the victory over Real Madrid, Barcelona won the first trophy of the season and the title of the best team in the American division of the International Champions Cup. Despite the unofficial nature of the competition, the final meeting with the sworn enemy took place in the best traditions of the main Spanish confrontation.

66,000 spectators came to see the classics of European football at the Hard Rock stadium. The impressive support of the stands was noted by the Catalan midfielder Andres Iniesta.

“Last US game, thanks for the support! Tomorrow we will be at home and continue preparing for the season, ”the footballer wrote on his Instagram page.

“Creamy” coach Zinedine Zidane also called the American fans one of the highlights of the evening:

“The support from the stands was just perfect.

I would give the viewers of yesterday’s match 10 out of 10,

– the official website of the club quotes the French specialist.

Fans were not disappointed with the game. Lionel Messi opened the scoring in the very opening of the meeting. Less than five minutes later, Keylor Navos had to get the next ball out of the net. Ivan Rakitic scored, assisted by Neymar.

Zidane explained this advantage of the Catalans at the beginning of the meeting with psychological relaxation.

“We started the game very badly, conceding two goals by the seventh minute due to loss of concentration. Then we began to play better, we had good fragments, but in general it cannot be said that we played well, ”the specialist said at the post-match press conference.

“Creamy” corrected their mistakes before the break. In the 14th minute, Mateo Kovacic closed the gap on the Catalans, and in the 35th, Marco Asensio equalized the position on the scoreboard.

However, in the 50th minute, Gerard Pique sent the third ball into the net from Neymar’s pass and set the final result.

According to Zidane, this defeat was not fatal for the “royal club”, but it helped to reveal important mistakes.

“We don’t hide anything. When we go out on the field, we try to play well.

We will meet Barcelona again in a few days, but it cannot be said that today the game was one-sided.

“Neymar stays with us”

In the matches of the International Champions Cup, Barcelona turned out to be stronger than Manchester United, Manchester City …

28 July 19:20

Yes, we started badly, but returned to the game, however, we lost too many martial arts, which is uncharacteristic for us, ”said the Frenchman.

Barcelona’s head coach Ernesto Valverde commented rather reservedly on the victory in a kind of El Clasico rehearsal, stressing that Miami’s hot weather made adjustments to the game.

“It was difficult to play because of the heat and humidity. I think we had a great match. The team scored two quick goals, created dangerous chances, but due to high humidity, the pace began to fall.

In terms of my attitude towards the game, I am very pleased with my players.

They wanted to dominate the field. Yes, we ourselves gave Real Madrid chances, but we created more, ”Mars quotes the specialist.

One of the goals of such away tournaments among the top European teams is to popularize European football in the world. Draymond Green, forward of the National Basketball League (NBA) club Golden State, who visited the game, did not remain indifferent and compared the main football stars with famous basketball players.

“LeBron James is more like Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar is more like Steph Curry. He likes to trick, drives you crazy, but he is able to take the team to the next level. Neymar is also able to do this and win the championship, ”Greene said.

The Brazilian striker from Barcelona became a star in the post-match conference as well. The main question of this transfer window is whether the transfer of the Brazilian to the Paris Saint-Germain for a record €222 million will take place, or the Catalans will not let go of one of the team’s key players. Valverde had to answer.

“I will respect his choice in any case.

Neymar is currently at Barcelona and we hope he will help us this season.

I don’t want to speculate about his possible transition. I don’t think anything has changed in recent days. I hope that will be the case, ”said the coach.

But Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos did not hide that he would be happy to move the Catalan superstar to the championship of another country.

“I have a very good relationship with Neymar.
