Barcelona to open pre-season on July 19

Spanish outfit Barcelona will start their pre-season against Recreativo de Huelva in the Colombino Trophy tournament on July 19.

The fixture at the Nuevo Colombino stadium will see new Barca boss Luis Enrique take charge of the Catalan side for the first time.

However, the squad will mainly include players from Barcelona B, in addition to those that are not participating in the World Cup this summer.

Barcelona finished last season without a major trophy.
