The stars of FC Barcelona head to New York City to take on the MLS’s New York Red Bulls as the second stop on Barcelona’s U.S. tour. FC Barcelona are a team in transition as new manager Josep Guardiola has replaced Frank Rijkaard. Players will be looking to make a good impression with Guardiola so expect that Barcelona bring there complete roster with them including stars like Lionel Messi and Thiery Henry heading the lineup.
The Red Bulls are having a rough time in Major League Soccer this year as injuries to stars like C. Reyna and Juan Pablo Angel have really hurt. With a big crowd expected for the Barcelona game, expect the Red Bulls to be up for the game as they try and impress the New York soccer public.
