FC
Barcelona v Inter Milan 29th August Camp Nou.
This is a
traditional season curtain raiser where the blaugrana invite a top side to the
Camp Nou and give fans the chance to see the new players on display before the
campaign really gets under-way. Italian champions Inter Milan will be the
opponents this year and we will be able to see how Thierry Henry et al succeed
against a typically tight Serie A defence.
The
opposition – Inter
The
Nerazzurri swept to the title last season partly thanks to the penalties
imposed on AC Milan and Juventus for match fixing. Coach Roberto Mancini though
has a formidable squad who will be the team to beat in Italy next season and
also one of the favourites for the Champions League. They have a
well-marshalled defence led by the imposing Marco Materazzi and Patrick Vieira
adds toughness and quality in midfield while upfront Zlatan Ibrahimovic,
Adriano and Hernan Crespo will worry the best back-lines. Of course all eyes
will be on Luis Figo, if he plays, who of course has never been forgiven for
his defection to arch-enemies Real Madrid.
The club
has organised an evening for the family with games and a concert. Doors open at
6pm, then the new players will be presented at 9.30pm before kick-off.
