Barcelona will face Napoli at Hard Rock Stadium on August 7th and soccer fans in our city will have the opportunity to see two of the best teams of European club soccer.

The last time Barcelona played here, they still had Neymar in their roster, and there have been a lot of rumors that the Brazilian striker could be back with the team by the end of this summer.

So, maybe, we get to see Neymar here too again.

James Rodriguez is expected to sign with Napoli in the coming days.

He would then be scheduled to participate in both matches of the La Liga/Serie A Cup, including the one in Miami. @CincoRazonesPod

James Rodriguez will not stay at Real Madrid, and many Colombians are not happy because of that. However, there have been many reports linking James to Napoli, Barcelona’s rival in that friendly match at Hard Rock Stadium in August.

Barcelona coming back to the US

The club informed that FC Barcelona preseason will be divided into two parts this summer. Several months ago it was announced that the first team will be playing two games in Japan against Chelsea in Tokyo (July 23) and Vissel Kobe in Kobe (July 27), and it has now been announced there will be two further games in August in the United States against Napoli for a newly created trophy, the LaLiga Serie A Cup, to be contested between teams from the Spanish and Italian leagues, in this case the champions of the former and the runners-up from the latter.

This will be the ninth time that FC Barcelona visits the United States, and the third year in a row. In 2017, the team played three games in New York, Washington and Miami, and last year switched from the east to the west coast and played in Los Angeles, Dallas and San Francisco, as well as a training camp in Portland, where they were joined for the first time on tour by the women’s team.
