According to El Sport Champions of the Copa Libertadores, Boca Juniors, have accepted the invitation to be Barça’s opponents in the next edition of the Joan Gamper tournament which will take place on Tuesday 26th August. Boca took place in the first Gamper of Joan Laporta’s presidency in 2003, when Barça won the trophy 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw. It will be an opportunity to see Juan Roman Riquelme return to Camp Nou.

Boca Juniors is one of the best non-European clubs and I’ve always been interested in seeing South American and European clubs play. And of course, a tough test for the team so early in the new season.

I am rather happy that we aren’t playing the standard big team from Europe. It’s a nice change.Hopefully both teams put out their best squads and we get to see a good game.

Well maybe see Riquelme, the Gold Medal game of the Olympics is on August 23rd so if Argentina makes it that far Roman may not play this match. I hope he features in both!
