The WSL and FA Cup winners welcome the European champions to Manchester for the ultimate pre-season match-up on Saturday 15 August.
Kick-off is set for 16:00 between the champions of England and Spain, as our pre-season preparations continue to gather momentum.
We began our pre-season preparations in Florence last week, with City earning a 1-1 draw against Fiorentina thanks to a stunning late strike from Lauren Hemp.

But now all eyes are on Saturday’s showdown against Barcelona at the Joie Stadium.
City most recently faced Barcelona in the 2024/25 UEFA Women’s Champions League, with both sides picking up a victory apiece in Group D.
The Blues’ triumph came at the Joie Stadium in October 2024, with goals from Naomi Layzell and Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw earning us a 2-0 win in front of a record crowd of 5,508.
