After completing the most incredible season in history, the important thing now is to prepare for next season.Barca's preseason will kick off with a friendly against English club Tottenham Hotspurs on July 24, however the team will be assembled before that to begin training, and all players will undergo physicals on July 20.
The second friendly will be against Egyptian club Al-Ahly on July 26, before the team heads out to the USA where they'll face a couple of the MLS sides (LA Galaxy, Seattle Sounders and one club to be determined).
Barca players Lionel Messi, Dani Alves, Carles Puyol, Gerard Pique, Xavi Hernandez and Sergio Busquets have all been granted permission to arrive later than the rest of the team, on July 28 to be exact, to give them a week of rest after their international matches. They'll all be onboard for the US tour, which starts on August 1.
After that, Barca will face Athletic Bilbao in two legs for the Spanish Super Copa, away on August 15 and home on August 18, followed by the UEFA Super Cup against Shakhtar Donetsk on August 28.
