The mammoth deal is yet to be agreed (if they manage to agree it at all), but just in case, Harry Kane was missing from tonight’s final pre-season game between Barcelona and Tottenham. On the other side, Ousmane Dembele returned from the negotiations in Paris and trained with the team, but he was also missing this duel (a good signs for both Bayern Munich and PSG). Those who participated put a lively performance at the Estadi Olimpic Lluis Companys stadium, Barca’s new home this season, and provided six goals in a 4-2 win for the home team. Barcelona and Spurs have only met six times in history, and none of them have gone Spurs’s way, including tonight’s seventh time.Ansu Fati gives Barcelona the Lead!!Barcelona 3 – 2 Tottenham pic.twitter.com/8gsw3XgGnd— Barça Worldwide (@BarcaWorldwide) August 8, 2023 🚨🚨| GOAL: Abde SCORES against Spurs!Barcelona 4 – 2 Tottenham pic.twitter.com/294IT7atge— CentreGoals.

But the sub Ferran Torres scored an equalizer in the 81st minute, while Marcus Alonso could give Barca the win with a great free kick five minutes later, but the Spurs goalie was on the spot again. And then came in Ansu Fati for the dramatic winner. Again it was Marcus Alonso, who’s great pass allowed the Guinea-Bissau born to finish strong. The win was sealed in injury time, when another great sub, Morrocan Abde Ezzalzouli finished a good performance with a goal.##NAJAVA_MECA_7417541##
