The second friendly of the summer close season tour of Asia will be against Gouan in Beijing. The two sides met in the summer of 2007 when Barca won 3-0.
Guardiola will begin his preparations for the upcoming season with a friendly match in Oslo against Valerenga before taking his players on a short tour of Asia. First up will be a match against a Korean all-stars eleven followed shortly after by a re-match with Gouan, a team Barca first played in 2007.
