Real Madrid y Barcelona
Real Madrid and Barcelona will play a summer Clásico in the United States during the Champions Soccer Tour, with the Super League controversy in the background. The two most important Spanish football clubs will be part of a tournament organized by Legends, which will also feature Arsenal, Manchester United, Juventus, and Milan. The tournament will take place from July 22 to August 2 in eight stadiums in the United States.
Barcelona will debut on July 22 against Juventus in San Francisco, while Real Madrid will face Milan on July 23 in Los Angeles at the famous Rose Bowl, which hosts one of the most famous college American football finals.
Real Madrid and Barcelona will play a total of four matches, compared to the three matches that Milan and Juventus will play. Manchester United and Arsenal will only participate in one match.
The Spanish Clásico will take place at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas on July 29, replacing the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas used in the previous edition. Unless there is a surprise, Carlo Ancelotti’s team will carry out a preseason training camp at the University of Los Angeles (UCLA).
The six teams that have decided to participate in this mini-tournament are six of the founders of the Super League, although only Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Juventus continue to publicly defend the project. The organization of these types of tournaments and the presence of Legends and the investment fund Sixth Street, which has different agreements with Real Madrid and Barcelona, maintain the enthusiasm for the new competition in the Bernabéu and Camp Nou boards.
