The atmosphere was already building and has gone up a notch as the Barcelona keepers have come out to warm up. Barcelona have enjoyed the majority of possession and have created three clear chances, but City are looking to calm things down a little now. He starts, as expected, and that is a big call in itself from Guardiola. Barcelona have sold 87,000 tickets tonight and there will be around 1,500 away fans in the stadium. City execs have dismissed any suggestion this week that the player would leave when questions have been shouted in their direction and it is a show of strength to play him here tonight from the beginning. This has pre-season vibes from City and well it might given most of the players have not seen much action in the opening weeks of the campaign. Have your say in the comments section below. They'll all be hungry and eager to make a case for more first-team involvement going forward.

Both Barça and City will play in the UEFA Champions League this season, and this week (Thursday) they'll learn who they will be paired with in the group stage. Francisco Luzón was diagnosed with ALS in 2014, leading him to create Fundación Luzón with the purpose of helping to find a cure for this terrible disease, bringing together every party involved in the goal. Promoted by former Barça player and coach Juan Carlos Unzue, the match is to raise the highest amount of aid to fight against ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis). Over 51,500 tickets have been sold, and funds will go to Fundación Luzón for ALS research: This one, however, is more than a friendly -- it's all for charity. Well, it's a non-Champions League match, a perceived friendly after the season has already started -- something you don't often see.
