De Jong, Kessie, Gavi, Collado, Pablo Torre, O. Demb?l?, Raphinha, Lewandowski, Aubameyang, Ferran, Ansu Fati, Memphis, Braithwaite and Ez Abde.

No Bernardo?

Curious to see how the numbers will be presented. Still a lot of players in that selected squad that shouldn't belong to Barca's first team.

Likes of Tenas, Balde, Abde and Torre most definitely with numbers above 25.

Anyone else waiting for Mavericky to jump to the pitch out of Pique's pocket?

What is Gamper cup anyway? Memorial friendly with completely random team getting invited? Who's Gamper?

Anyways, last test before the opener. I'm guessing we get 45' of Xavi's favoured 11 for next week.

I'm serious, bruh.

I feel like you're trolling, but I'll bite.

On 22 October 1899, Gamper placed an advert in Los Deportes declaring his wish to form a football club.[7] A positive response resulted in a meeting at the Gimnasio Sol? on 29 November and "Futbol Club Barcelona" was born.

Ah, i think i knew it, but forgot. Thx. Look, i watch Barca for their football and out of habit, not because of some trivia from 19th century. Don't care about catalans much either.

Hope to hear some whistles.

We should get some serious clues about our starting 11 (at least in the first few games) today.

Squad list is massive two players shy of three teams.

Araujo, Christensen, Eric, Alba
Gavi, Busi, Pedri
Raphinha, Lewa, Dembele

 

[Birdy]

How many subs are permitted tonight?

Araujo, Christensen, Eric, Alba
Gavi, Busi, Pedri
Raphinha, Lewa, Dembele

Ansu and Gavi are the question marks for me.
