Barcelona vs Tottenham - LIVE!
A much-changed Tottenham side showed plenty of promise but the club’s pre-season ultimately ended in defeat as Barcelona won 4-2 to lift the Joan Gamper Trophy.
Robert Lewandowski gave the hosts a very early lead in Spain, but Spurs responded impressively and turned it around by half-time as Oliver Skipp scored twice in just over ten minutes. The second of those looked like being the winner as the visitors remained in front heading into the final ten minutes, but three Barcelona goals ensured they won their traditional curtain-raiser for the 11th year in a row.
Ferran Torres and Ansu Fati got Xavi’s side in front, before Abde Ezzalzouli capped the win deep into stoppage-time as a tired Spurs defence fell apart against Barcelona’s young stars. Tottenham now turn their focus to the start of the Premier League season, which comes away to Brentford on Sunday.
