Udinese surprises a very sophisticated baby Barça and takes the triangular
Triangular tournaments return to modern football, a nineties format that Barça had not experienced for 24 years and that yesterday allowed them to distribute minutes and continue fine-tuning many of their players. The test, of a higher level this time, consisted of two 45-minute matches against strong opponents. First, they defeated the revived English Nottingham Forest with a penalty caused by Fermín and converted by Raphinha. Both were the best news of the night. Afterwards, against the always competitive and host Udinese, they suffered an inconsequential defeat. The locals took the Friuli Venezia Giulia Cup after having beaten Nottingham 1-0 in the first match.
