Tito's first season in charge of the club will have a somewhat abbreviated pre-season with no USA or ASIA tour planned.  With so many players taking part in either the Euro 2012 tournament or the Olympic tournament, this is probably a very good idea.  As it stands now, with the recent announcement of the Trofeo Joan Gamper opponent (Sampdoria), the pre-season looks like this:

July 24th, 2012:  @ Imtech Arena in Hamburg Germany to play Hamburg SV (Hamburg SV celebrating 125th anniversary).
,
July 28th, 2012: @ Tangiers, Morocco to play an all-star team from the Moroccan league.

August 4th, 2012:  @ Paris, France to play Paris Saint-Germain.

August 8th, 2012:   @ Goteborg to play Manchester United

August 11th, 2012: @ and and against Bucharest

** August 18th, 2012:  La Liga Season Begins with Round 1

August 20th, 2012:  Trofeo Joan Gamper at Camp Nou against Sampdoria

August 22nd, 2012: @ Camp Nou, Spanish Super Cup, Leg 1

** August 25th, 2012:  La Liga Round 2

August 29th, 2012:  @ Santiago Bernabeu, Spanish Super Cup, Leg 2

-----------------------------------------------

The scheduling of the Joan Gamper on the 20th of August seems a bit out of place to me.  It seems to me like it should have been schedule 1 week earlier knowing that the league and the super cup are so close together in the first two rounds of the season.

I guess we can expect a fairly dull Joan Gamper with very few of the top players in a significant role.

It'll be just like training, the Gamper trophy.  It's always a party atmosphere, so I'm sure the players, no matter how long they play, won't give it at full speed.

And who are you , the proud lord said, that I must bow so low?

Strange locale considering the small stadium but a city passionate about footy

It's in the Ciudad Deportiva normally, but as far as I know those training-sessions aren't open to the public (only the first 15 minutes of the training-session are open to the press I think, the rest is behind closed doors)

Can't wait to see the boys again, especially Messi and Alexis who I expect big things from this season if he can just stay fit.

I just read on a Dutch football-website that Messi is Injured, and will not play?
