Pep Guardiola returns to Spotify Camp Nou as he brings in the reigning Premier League champs for a friendly.

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.

Jack Grealish missed the Newcastle game with a knock, and while he traveled to Spain for the match, his status is unclear. The 55-year-old also took charge of Celta Vigo and Girona before his health forced him to retire. He overlapped with Guardiola at the club from 2007-2010 before being hired to manage Numancia. 110 mins to kick: While the match itself will benefit ALS research, Barcelona are also promoting another cause with their third kit, which will debut in this match. Lionel Messi was also a recipient of the award earlier in 2022, becoming the second footballer to earn the award after Johann Cruyff. The Gabonese striker does find the starting lineup, with Lewandowski on the bench. 86 mins to kick: Man City boss Pep Guardiola hinted that he could use this friendly to test new tactics, but more importantly, new players in the squad. Each manager has named a strong squad for the event, with the teams expected to feature top players in support of ALS research. Robert Lewandowski scored his first two Barcelona goals in that bounce-back win, including his first 44 seconds into the game. Pep promised first-team players would be involved, but the starting lineup is a little disappointing from that regard. Cole Palmer starts in midfield, with youth team players Ben Knight, Josh Wilson-Esbrand, Luke Mbete, and Oscar Bobb available off the bench. 60 mins to kick: The Man City lineup comes through first.

Xavi had a long playing career for Barcelona that included the entirety of Guardiola's stint at the Camp Nou. The two won three La Liga titles, two Champions League titles, and two Copa del Rey crowns as part of their trophy haul while working together.

Jack Grealish missed the Newcastle game with a knock, and while he traveled to Spain for the match, his status is unclear. However, there are a few injuries for the Premier League side to contend with. Despite not yet being registered for La Liga play, defender Jules Kounde could feature as the match is not an official league competition. The 55-year-old would take charge of Celta Vigo and Girona before his health forced him to retire. Robert Lewandowski scored his first two Barcelona goals in that bounce-back win, including his first 44 seconds into the game. Sergio Busquets was suspended for the match against La Real but he could return in midfield in place of Frenkie de Jong. Below is the club's last starting lineup for the weekend's Premier League match against Newcastle, which resulted in a 3-3 draw. Unzue was an assistant at Barcelona from 2003-2010 and again from 2014-2017. Both clubs have begun their league campaigns to mixed results. Unzue then took charge of Racing Santander before joining Celta Vigo as an assistant and then returning to Barcelona. Barcelona will make the match available via BarcaTV+, while Man City is making the match accessible on both of the club's streaming services City+ and Man City Recast. The teams are getting together for a charity match to support a former assistant coach of Pep Guardiola's, with the match dubbed "A Great Game for a Greater Cause."

Jack Grealish missed the Newcastle game with a knock, and while he traveled to Spain for the match, his status is unclear. A charging Julian Alvarez is there to capitalize on the mistake to bundle the ball into the back of the net. Straight away Man City are put under pressure at the Camp Nou, with Aubameyang meeting a cross on the doorstep attempting to head the hosts in front. Lionel Messi was also a recipient of the award earlier in 2022, becoming the second footballer to earn the award after Johann Cruyff. A set-piece came in to the head of Sergio Busquets, and while that's wayward, it falls right to Aubameyang at a tight angle, and he delivers the equalizer with a finish inside the near post. A deep ball lifted high over the top of the Barcelona defense is a routine collect for Pena, but the ball slips right through his hands. Inaki Pena, who had a disastrous mistake in the first half to gift Man City a goal, makes up for it here with a fabulous double-save on Julian Alvarez. 28th min: Some may be concerned with the risk to players during a mid-season friendly, but can see how little needle there is in this charity match. Depay draws the goalkeeper out with his dribbling, and de Jong is there to finish off the chance with a drive that ripples the net. We'll try to keep up with what will surely be a deluge of substitutions through the second half. Aubameyang has a wave to the crowd, which could be a sign for his immediate club future. Each manager has named a strong squad for the event, with the teams expected to feature top players in support of ALS research.

Barcelona vs Manchester City: Mahrez's last-minute penalty helps ... (Sportstar)

Barcelona drew 3-3 against Manchester City in a club friendly at the Camp Nou on Wednesday, with Riyad Mahrez scoring a last-minute goal from the spot.

This time, Riyad Mahrez made no mistake to execute a calm finish ending the match all-square after 90 minutes if tense football. While the result of the match looked sealed, a last moment penalty conceded by Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen gave Man City a chance to equalise for the second time in the match. In the second half, Frenkie De Jong scored from a Memphis Depay assist in the 66th minute, while it took just four minutes for Guardiola’s side to make a comeback.
