Spain-Xavi's men were disappointed when they drew 1-1 with Eolot in their opening friendly in the summer of 2022.

Goals: Eloi Amagat pen 45' - Aubameyang 28'

Last season, UE Olot kicked at Tercera Division Rfef, the fifth highest rank in Spain. This club promoted after defeating Tenerife B 1-0 in the play-off final at the end of May.

In front of a lagging opponent, coach Xavi still launched a strong squad, with many first-team stars such as goalkeeper Ter Stegen, defender Sergi Nordstrom or striker Pierre-Emerick Obamyan. He also brought in two rookies-midfielder Frank Casey and 19-year-old Pablo Torre.

In the first 20 minutes, Aubameyang missed two chances without beating goalkeeper Eolot in the face-to-face stage, before a shot hit the crossbar. Subsequently, the Gabonese striker received a pass from Ter Stegen to correct his mistake, and then goalkeeper Eolot made a mistake and drove the ball into the far corner, opening the record in the 28th minute.

The hosts also played cheerfully and found an equaliser in the last minute of the first half. Ue Olot was awarded a penalty when the referee adjudicated Mike Marmol had fouled Manzano in the box. At the 11m mark, Eloy shot into the left corner. Terstegen falls in the right direction but cannot save Barca.

In the second half, Xavi updated his squad when he brought in Miralem Pjanic, Pedri, and handed the captain's armband to Ansu Fati-the successor to former captain Lionel Messi's No.10 jersey.

Barca dominated the game but were unable to score more goals. The best chance is a face-to-face kicking phase between 2004-born player Alex Valle and Pedri's goalkeeper. At the end of the game, Eiolot also had two shots to swing Barcelona's defense.

After this draw, Barcelona will travel to America. Barcelona are expected to play Inter Miami in Florida on July 20, Real Madrid in Nevada on July 24, Juventus in Texas on July 27 and New York RB in New Jersey on July 31. On August 7th, Harvey's teachers and students finished their preparations for the new season in the match between Camp Nou and Mexican club Pumanunan.
