FC Barcelona will wrap up their 2024/25 preseason campaign when they face Ligue 1 side AS Monaco in the Joan Gamper Trophy final. The hosts have only played three friendly games so far this summer, kicking off their preparations for the new campaign with a 2-2 stalemate against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City at the end of July, before winning the resulting penalty shootout.
Hansi Flick's side then secured a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid, before playing out a 2-2 draw with AC Milan, losing on penalties to the Italian giants to conclude the United States pre-season tour. The visitors, meanwhile, have played six friendlies this summer, opening with a narrow 1-0 victory over Servette in early July, before drawing their next two against Cercle Brugge and Sturm Graz. The principality side then won their next two games against Feyenoord and Club Brugge, but they come into this match off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Serie A side Genoa.
The Catalans will open their La Liga season at Valencia on August 17, while Monaco will begin their new domestic campaign at home against Saint-Etienne on the same day.
