WELCOME TO ST. JAKOB-PARK!!! The cozy home of FC Basel in Switzerland is the site of Barcelona’s third assignment in this preseason. Hansi Flick has his entire squad back available and we will likely see the preseason debuts of Lamine Yamal, Dani Olmo and new signing Anthony Gordon in this one. This is a very tough game to watch with few legal ways available, but you’re still welcome to join us to follow and comment all the action. Vamos!

Matchday Thread Rules
We don’t have a lot of rules here, but there are a few things to keep in mind when joining our matchday threads:
Even if the referee sucks or we lose the game, watch the swearing. It’s just unnecessary. Also, don’t discuss illegal streaming links. Those who do it will be warned, and those who post links will be instantly banned. Finally, be nice to each other. This is a Barcelona community and we don’t need to offend one another.
Have fun with the game! Forever and ever, no matter the competition, VISCA EL BARÇA!
