FC Barcelona end their 2024/25 season preparation with a match against a Ligue 1 club AS Monaco in the final of the Joan Gamper Trophy.

The hosts have played just three friendlies so far this summer, starting their preparations for the new season with a 2-2 draw against reigning Premier League champions Manchester City at the end of July before winning the ensuing 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 and losing to the Italian giants on penalties to conclude their pre-season tour of the USA.

The visitors have played six friendlies this summer, winning with a narrow 1-0 victory over Servette in early July before drawing their next two matches against Cercle Brugge and Sturm Graz. The Principality side then won their next two games against Feyenoord and Club Brugge, but they go into this game on the back of a 2-1 defeat to Serie A side Genoa.

The Catalans open their La Liga season in Valencia on August 17, while Monaco starts its new domestic campaign at home against Saint-Etienne on the same day.
