Manchester City will take on Barcelona on Wednesday night in a charity match at Camp Nou.
City's Premier League campaign is already three games old, but straight after a thrilling 3-3 draw with Newcastle on Sunday Pep Guardiola's side flew to Catalonia for a few days of warm weather training and to face the coach's former club.
The match is being played in honour of former Barca goalkeeper and coach Juan Carlos Unzue, who was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) two years ago. All proceeds from the game will go to Fundacion Luzon, an ALS research charity.
City will return to Manchester later this week ahead of their Premier League clash with Crystal Palace at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Team news
Aymeric Laporte remains unavailable for selection as he continues to recover from a knee injury, while Nathan Ake is not expected to play after picking up a groin injury against Newcastle on Sunday. Jack Grealish missed that game with a knock, but he could return.
Last week Guardiola said that while a number of first-team regulars will start, he will take the opportunity to start those who haven't featured much so far this season. The likes of Stefan Ortega, Kalvin Phillips and Julian Alvarez are all expected to be in the starting line-up, as is John Stones, who Pep confirmed will start against Barca. There could also be a first glimpse of new signing Sergio Gomez, City's 21-year-old left-back who came up through the youth ranks at Barcelona.
