The United States Ousmane Dembele scored two beautiful goals for Barca in the friendly match Juventus 2-2 at Texas on the evening of July 26.

Scoring: Dembele 34, 40 - Kean 39, 51

Barca played on the basis and took the previous two times thanks to Dembele's personal tables, but Moise Kean all equalized for Juventus from the nearby buffer. If luckier, Raphinha or Ansu Fati could help Barca win with two beautiful shots, but the ball hit the point between the beam and column.

Barca entered the confidence after winning Real Madrid 1-0 in Nevada on July 23. That was shown before Juventus, with the opening goal of Dembele. Receiving the ball from the right 34th minute, the French midfielder dribbled through Juan Cuadrado to cut into the penalty. He continued to do the author to turn the ball to eliminate Alex Sandro before the right foot shot crossed the corner to defeat goalkeeper Szczesny.

The defense is still weak for Barca, when they are equalized after only five minutes. Right -back Sergino Dest opened too much space, helping Cuadrado stretch horizontally to keep Kean cushion into the drum net.

Just a minute later, Dembele created a special thing. He dribbled through Cuadrado and Manuel Locatelli, before stretching to the far corner. Goalkeeper Szczesny seemed to be hidden, so he only buried his foot when the ball entered the net.

This match Barca replaced 24 people, causing their squad to be disturbed in the second half. Juventus took advantage of this opportunity to equalize only six minutes after the break. Frenkie de Jong broke the ball before the forbidden place, but the ball came to Cuadrado's position. He poked his teammate but the ball was cut back by Christensen. Once again the ball belonged to Juventus, and Kean appeared at the right time to cushion through the leg goalkeeper Inaki Pena set the score 2-2.

Barca missed many chances to win this match, such as the 68th minute situation. Raphinha kicked the penalty through the fence to hit the pole, then it was Fati's turn to improvise but the ball still flew to that position. Midfielder Franck Kessie also wasted good opportunities to help Barca win the third match in a row.

Barca will play a friendly match in the US on July 30 against New York Red Bulls in New Jersey. And Juventus will meet Real Madrid in Los Angeles, California on the same day.
