💥 Clash of giants: River invite Barça for a friendly at the Monumental | OneFootball

The football world could witness an international-caliber showdown in the coming months. River Plate has sent a formal proposal to FC Barcelona to play a friendly in Buenos Aires, taking advantage of the Catalan side’s preparation window.

The details of the proposal in Núñez

River’s board formally extended the invitation for the match to take place on August 7 or 8 at the Mâs Monumental Stadium. The event would be part of the Blaugrana side’s preseason tour ahead of its official competitions. If it goes ahead, a massive crowd is expected to welcome the stars of European football.

A reunion after more than a decade

This match would mark the first meeting between the two clubs since the 2015 Club World Cup final played in Japan. On that occasion, the team managed by Luis Enrique claimed a convincing 3-0 win over Marcelo Gallardo’s River, thanks to goals from Lionel Messi and a brace by Luis Suárez. Eleven years later, Núñez is seeking revenge.
