Memphis signed for the second goal of the Catalans. The Orange-international came on after half-time for Robert Lewandowski, who failed to score a few. After a pass from Miralem Pjanic, Memphis took advantage of weak defense at the New York Red Bulls and was able to tap the ball in fairly easily just before the final signal: 2-0. Ousmane Dembélé had opened the scoring in the first half.
De Jong remained in the dressing room after the first half. The 25-year-old midfielder has been linked to a move to Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United for some time.
Barcelona previously won Inter Miami and Real Madrid in the practice campaign in the US. The Catalans drew against Juventus.
