FC Barcelona vs Manchester City 0-1 Joan Gamper 19-08-09
The highlights of Manchester City’s 0-1 victory over Barcelona in the club’s Joan Gamper pre-season trophy.
It wasn’t a fantastic game because Barça were much less worried about winning than city were. The Blaugrana had already competed in the Spanish SuperCup and were thinking ahead to the European one and the start of La Liga, so Pep continued with his experiments and used a lot of the reserve and youth players. Most of the theoretical first team had a bit of a run about and Zlatan Ibrahimovic made his debut without much luck. Barça still played like Barça and the result was of little importance.
For City, however, after investing so much money, beating the reigning European Champions gave them a definite moral boost and I’m sure Mark Hughes smiled to himself when he thought of his unsuccessful period at Camp Nou under Terry Venables back in the late 1980s.

But Dos Santos shows you how good Barca’s B squad is too. His shot from outside the 18 deserved to be a goal, but still well played by Man City.
