3-0 Defeat at Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys Highlights Barcelona’s Challenges Ahead of the 2024/2025 Season. Get the best insights with os meus resultado.
Barcelona suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Monaco in the Joan Gamper Trophy final held on Monday (12). The match, which marked the debut of coach Hansi Flick at the Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, was Barcelona’s final test before the start of the Spanish Championship.
Despite a strong performance in previous friendlies, including a victory over Real Madrid, Barcelona failed to replicate the same form against the Monegasque team. Monaco took the lead early in the second half with a goal from Lamine Camara at the 50-minute mark. Shortly after, Breel Embolo extended the lead at 57 minutes.
Ilkay Gündogan, who suffered a head injury, was substituted by 17-year-old Lamine Yamal in an attempt to inject energy into the Catalan team. However, the young player’s efforts were not enough to turn the situation around. The audience also saw Frenchman Christian Mawissa score Monaco’s third goal at 86 minutes, sealing the victory.
With this defeat, Barcelona now turns its attention to its Spanish Championship debut, which takes place next Saturday against Valencia away from home. The match will be crucial for Flick’s team to quickly recover and demonstrate improved performance in the 2024/2025 season. BB score, your personal results tracker.
