After suffering the first dropped points of their Premier League title defence in a 3-3 draw against Newcastle on Sunday afternoon, Manchester City are now set to go toe-to-toe against Barcelona in a mid-season charity friendly.
The fixture has been promoted by the retired Blaugrana star Juan Carlos Ensue to raise funds as well as awareness about amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
The former Spanish goalkeeper was diagnosed with the disease two years ago.
With the contest organised for a charitable cause, it is likely that both sides will play rotated teams at the Spotify Camp Nou.

This is especially after the Premier League champions’ breathless battle at St. James’ Park, and as such a number of the starters from the contest look set to be given a rest.
Aymeric Laporte and Nathan Ake’s injury worries mean the pair will be excluded from the matchday squad on Wednesday evening.
Ahead of Manchester City’s upcoming encounter against the La Liga giants, here’s how fans across the world can tune into proceedings.
