Holders FC Barcelona: Holders FC Barcelona are training in England as Hansi Flick's side continues preparations for the new La Liga season in which they will defend their title.

It has been a relatively quiet summer at the Camp Nou. Robert Lewandowski has left after his contract expired, while Joao Cancelo and Marcus Rashford have returned to their parent clubs after their loan spells ended.

Removing Lewandowski's salary from the wage bill has given Barcelona greater financial flexibility than in recent years. The club has already signed England winger Anthony Gordon from Newcastle United and Germany forward Karim Adeyemi from Borussia Dortmund as they look to refresh an attack that will again be built around Lamine Yamal, reports Xinhua.
