WELCOME TO THE SEOUL WORLD CUP STADIUM!!! This beautiful arena in the capital of South Korea is the site of Barcelona’s second stop in their Asian tour of preseason as the Blaugrana face hosts FC Seoul. After a solid win over Vissel Kobe in Japan on Sunday, Hansi Flick’s men will look to build some momentum and get another victory against a Seoul team that features a familiar face in former Manchester United star Jesse Lingard. This should be fun, and you’re welcome to join us to follow and comment all the action. Vamos!
