Barcelona forgot its sorrows after the departure of its legendary star and Argentine captain, Lionel Messi, and the end of his career with the Catalan team, by achieving a moral victory with three clean goals against its Italian guest, Juventus, on Sunday, to crown the friendly “Joan Gamper” Cup.

The curtain came down on Messi's career with Barcelona, ​​​​after the Spanish club announced last Thursday that it had not reached an agreement with the six-time World Player of the Year award due to "financial and structural obstacles."

Barcelona advanced with an early goal signed by new Dutch star Memphis Depay (3), and the match witnessed the participation of Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo with Juventus before he was replaced with the start of the second half.

Barcelona is preparing for its first match in the new season in the Spanish League, which is seeking to return it to its coffers after missing it in the past two seasons.

Barca will start their campaign against Real Sociedad next Sunday.

On the other hand, Juventus plays its host Udinese on the 22nd of this month in its first meeting in the Italian league, which the "old lady" team hopes to return to it again after losing it last season in favor of Inter.

The Joan Gamper Cup is a friendly tournament organized by FC Barcelona at the beginning of each season.
