This will be the first-ever confrontation between these clubs.

FC Barcelona are all set to battle it out against Como 1907 in the 2025 Trofeo Joan Gamper fixture. The interesting contest between these clubs will take place at the Estadi Johan Cruyff.

Barcelona will be the home side here and will be feeling confident because of their current form. They were dominant during their recent Asia tour of Japan and South Korea. The Blaugrana will be looking to secure another win and continue their winning form as the new season is about to begin.

Como 1907 are coming in after taking down the LaLiga side Real Betis in their previous friendly game. The upcoming game is not going to be an easy affair for them as Barca are in a dominating form. However, the Serie A side Como have also secured positive outcomes in their last three games.

He is going to play a crucial part for the LaLiga giants in the final third.

Nico Paz (Como)

Nico Paz is going to play a crucial part for the Italy-based club in their upcoming clash against Barca. From controlling the midfield to scoring goals, Paz is going to cause issues for the hosts whenever he has the ball at his feet. It will be interesting to watch him perform here.
