FC Barcelona made its debut this summer in Montju\u00efc with a tough win against AS Monaco (0-3). Hansi Flick’s men remained undefeated in the Joan Gamper Trophy in force since 2012 and are raising doubts ahead of their LaLiga debut this Saturday at Mestalla<\/h2> \r\n
\r\n \r\n \r\n Calendar of FC Barcelona <\/a>\r\n<\/div>

FC Barcelona presented its 2024\/25 sports project this Monday in Montju\u00efc with the traditional Joan Gamper Trophy, which in its 59th edition had the French AS Monaco as a guest. With Dani Olmo as the main new addition to the Bar\u00e7a squad, the cul\u00e9s jumped to the Lluys Companys with great hopes<\/strong>, but ended up taking a bitter victory after a disastrous second half (0-3).<\/p>

Despite the expectation for Olmo’s possible debut, Hansi Flick opted for the lineup that generated the most filming and confidence during the American tour<\/strong>. With Christensen and I\u00f1igo in the center of the defense and Kound\u00e9 with Balde on the sides, the coach once again entrusted the center of the field to the Casad\u00f3-Bernal duo, while Pablo Torre once again took on the task of creating play. Raphinha and Pau V\u00edctor repeated as wingers, while Lewandowski remained as a reference in the area.<\/p>

Bar\u00e7a lacked ideas in a first half without clear chances<\/h2>

As soon as the match began, the preseason sensation, Pau V\u00edctor, was very close to converting thanks to a Raphinha cross at the far post<\/strong>, but the youth player was forced and failed to direct his shot towards the goal. Monaco appeared in the Bar\u00e7a area in the 5th minute thanks to a poor start by Ter Stegen that generated a timely cut by I\u00f1igo Mart\u00ednez. Embolo claimed a penalty, but main player Garc\u00eda Verdura did not notice anything illegal on the part of the Basque central defender.<\/p>

From there, Bar\u00e7a took full control of the match, although the cul\u00e9s lacked the depth to hurt the Monegasque defense<\/strong>. Balde, Raphinha and Pablo Torre tried with several crosses that were repelled by the visiting defense, while Pau V\u00edctor also created some danger with a filtered pass where the Cantabrian ended up hindering ‘Lewy’. The Pole was the only one who had a shot on goal in the first half with a long shot controlled without problems by goalkeeper K\u00f6hn.<\/p>

Monaco hit twice after the break<\/h2>

After the break, Flick introduced a double variation. Sergi Dom\u00ednguez for Christensen and G\u00fcndogan for Pablo Torre<\/strong>. Monaco, for their part, took the field with the same 11 and gave the bell in the 50th minute, taking advantage of a bad Bar\u00e7a start. A short pass from I\u00f1igo caught Marc Bernal sleeping and Lamine Camara took the opportunity to anticipate and finish on goal, beating Ter Stegen.<\/p>

The French goal left Montju\u00efc silent and Bar\u00e7a reacted timidly with a couple of occasions in which Lewandowski was unable to finish the passes of Balde and Casad\u00f3. To make matters worse, Adi H\u00fctter’s team increased the lead in the 57th minute, this time thanks to a good goal from Breel Embolo<\/strong>. The Swiss attacker of Cameroonian origin took advantage of a filtered pass from Minamino to stand in front of Ter Stegen and finish over. Bucket had gotten hooked, breaking the offside position.<\/p>

Mawissa closed the Bar\u00e7a debacle before the end<\/h2>

The cul\u00e9s went on the attack to look for a comeback, but G\u00fcndogan did not come in well and, to make matters worse,<\/strong> he had to leave in the 68th minute after a tough collision in which he ended up with a broken head. Ferran Torres entered in his place in a window in which Gerard Mart\u00edn, H\u00e9ctor Fort and Lamine Yamal also entered the field for Balde, Kound\u00e9 and Lewandowski, respectively. As soon as he entered, Lamine left Pau V\u00edctor one-on-one with a spectacular pass, but the playmaker did not get the definition right.<\/p>

The ’19’ tried again a couple of minutes later with a long shot controlled by K\u00f6hn that revived the stands in Montju\u00efc<\/strong>. However, Adi H\u00fctter’s men cut the pace of the game in the final stretch through changes and a very orderly withdrawal into the opposite field. To complete the Bar\u00e7a disaster in the second half, Mawissa scored the third in the 87th minute, taking advantage of another horror in the Catalan defence<\/strong>. Bar\u00e7a continued to try, with little clarity and ended up falling without mitigating circumstances. For the cul\u00e9s, they are undefeated for 12 years at the Gamper, with the first defeat since 2012 (0-1 against Sampdoria).<\/p>
