Prestigious friendly against Barcelona

VfB Stuttgart will lock horns with one of the most successful clubs in Europe in what will be the highlight of pre-season on Saturday 31 July. Barcelona, 26-time Spanish champions and five-time Champions League winners, will visit the Mercedes-Benz Arena for a friendly, kicking off at 18:00 CEST.

Head coach Ronald Koeman will bring an almost full-strength team to Stuttgart. His star-studded squad, featuring the likes of Frenkie de Jong, Gerard Piqué and new signing Memphis Depay, will arrive in Germany for a training camp a few days before the friendly.
