Barcelona wins the first championship in the presence of Cristiano Ronaldo and the absence of Messi

The Spanish team Barcelona achieved its first championship on the same day that bid farewell to its captain and the best player in the world, Argentine Lionel Messi, after defeating the Italian team Juventus 3-0 to crown the Joan Gamper Cup friendly football championship, which is the first title to enter the coffers of the Catalan club since 20 years without Argentine footballer Lionel Messi.

Barcelona's hat-trick against Juventus was scored by Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo, Dutch striker Memphis Depay, Danish striker Martin Braithwaite, and young Spanish midfielder Ricky Puig.

The Barcelona team begins the new season annually by playing a friendly match for the Joan Gamper Cup, and it was expected that the two Portuguese stars, Cristiano Ronaldo and Argentine Lionel Messi, would meet face to face, in a new “Classico”, but Cristiano Ronaldo attended, and Messi was absent on the same day from the club.
