Dallas, United States.
FC Barcelona is defeating Juventus 2-1 in the pre-season friendly match at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, where Ousmane Dembélé shines with two tremendous goals.
The French opened the account to lift those present from their seats with a great goal. Dembélé cut three defenders with a lot of quality and released an unstoppable right hand for goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, in the 34th minute.
Juve, without the injured Frenchman Paul Pogba, responded and took advantage of a defensive mismatch by the Catalans to tie the game. Manuel Locatelli opened for Juan Guillermo Cuadrado, who first put the low center and Moise Kean pushed it to the bottom, in the 39th minute.
In the following action, Barça recovered the advantage on the scoreboard with another great play by Dembélé. The Frenchman lowered the ball with his chest, surprised the Italian defense once more and with a whiplash from his left foot he signed his double.
