All about the Real Madrid v Barça clásico on the 2022 U.S.A. tour

Raphinha scored the game's only goal and FC Barcelona outplayed their arch-rivals in Las Vegas

This summer's pre-season includes a Barça v Real Madrid clásico, specifically in Las Vegas, U.S.A. on July 23. It is one of the four games Barça will play on their tour of the United States of America, with the Inter Miami, Juventus, and New York Red Bulls their opponents in the other games.

The venue

The game will be played in the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. It will also set a precedent as Barça have never played in the city in the state of Nevada.

The stadium has a capacity of 65,000 spectators and is home to the NFL team, the Las Vegas Raiders.

Past friendly meetings

Barça and Real Madrid have faced each other in 32 friendly games before, with the Catalan side winning 19, along with 9 draws and 4 defeats, scoring 81 goals and conceding 41 across all games.

These 32 friendlies include 22 games played between 1906 and 1943 (14 in Camp Nou and 8 in the Bernabéu), as well as the Torneo de Clubs Campeones (1928), Torneo de Históricos (1948), the Carranza (1969) and Presidente de la República de Venezuela cup (1982).

The most recent friendly meeting was at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami in summer 2017, some 26 years after the previous game in Camp Nou in 1991 that ended 1-1.

There hasn't been a Clásico friendly since 1991

FC Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-2 in Miami, with goals by Messi, Rakitic and Piqué.
