The first match is near, and we can barely contain our excitement. It seems like ages since we've seen the boys play (in reality only about two months) and we just can't wait for this!
Barca opens preseason against English club Tottenham as part of the Wembley Cup friendly tournament, which also features Scottish club Celtic and Egypt's Al-Ahly.
With Pique, Puyol, Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets and Dani missing, Pep will probably be fielding several B-teamers for this one. Henry, Maxwell and Marquez aren't likely to play either, seeing as they've been training apart from the group medical reasons.
We can't be sure exactly who Pep will choose for his starting lineup, but seeing as our three basic centerbacks (Pique, Puyol, Marquez) won't be playing, it looks like Henrique will be making his debut tonight on the historic Wembley Stadium.
Barca won their first Champions League title (then known as the European Cup) on the Wembley back in 1992, so the arena holds a special meaning for them - here's hoping this match will be successful for them as well.
