FC Barcelona will take on Chivas Guadalajara August 3 in Miami instead of AC Milan
Chivas Guadalajara to take on FC Barcelona in Miami during US tour barcaloco.com
It was reported widely as soon as FC Barcelona announced that they would be returning to the US this summer as part of their tour that they would be playing an exhibition match in Miami on August 3 against AC Milan.
Well turns out that speculation on the club they would be playing was premature. On Tuesday it was announced by Jorge Ramos of ESPN radio that the club to face Barcelona would be Mexican side Chivas Guadalajara.
The two clubs last faced each other back in 2009 during the teams last visit to the US played in San Francisco. The match ended in a 1-1 draw infront of 61,000 fans.
Ticket information has not yet been released but stay tuned to Barcaloco.com for more information when it is available.
