In an exciting 2-2 draw, Barcelona and Juventus put on a show for a sizable audience in Dallas, with two goals each from Ousmane Dembele and Moise Kean, for their respective teams.
Dembele received the ball first and brought his pace to bear against the Juventus’ defence in two plays by dribbling past defenders as if they were not there. He completed a move with his left foot once, and another with his right, for two spellbinding moments that Barcelona supporters will cherish for a while.
However, each time the Spanish team led the Bianconeri, Kean answered for Juventus. First, he finished off Juan Cuadrado’s precise cross into the six-yard box, and then he completed a powerful run through the centre of the Barcelona defence, finishing through the Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s legs.
For the second straight game, Robert Lewandowski made another start for Barcelona. Though he displayed flashes of his killer instinct in front of goal, he was unable to score. Realistically, there are some aspects of his game that will take some time to blend with his new teammates for the goals to come. Juventus’ star forward, Dusan Vlahovic, was not included in the game, and American international, Weston McKennie, did not play in front of his home crowd.
In their next matches, Barcelona will play the New York Red Bulls, and Juventus will play Real Madrid. Before beginning their respective domestic seasons, both clubs will then play one last exhibition game back in Europe.
