A friendly match was held in East Rutherford, USA El Clasico: Barcelona beat real Madrid with a score of 2:1.
Both teams entered the friendly match in experimental lineups, using a number of reserves. One of them, Barcelona forward Pau Victor, became the hero of the match. At the end of the first half, he closed the pass from Robert Lewandowski from the goal area, and after the break, also from close range, Thibaut Courtois scored after a pass from Alex Valle.
Pau Victor Delgado, 22, is a Girona youth product who only signed a permanent contract at Barcelona this summer. He spent last season in Barcelona B and has yet to make an official appearance for the first team (only five appearances during the campaign).
Victor could have scored a hat-trick, but Courtois prevented it. The Belgian goalkeeper played the entire match, while Ukrainian Andriy Lunin remained on the bench. At the end of the match, Blancos scored one goal back – the forgotten Niko Paz headed the ball into the goal after a pass from Arda Guler.
Barcelona will have friendlies against Milan and Monaco in the pre-season, and their first official match under Hansi Flick will take place on August 17 in the first round of the Primera Division away against Valencia.
Real will play Mikhail Mudrik’s Chelsea on the night of August 7, after which they will fight Atalanta for the UEFA Super Cup on August 14. In the opening round of the championship, the Whites will travel to visit Mallorca.
