Third time lucky for Robert Lewandowski in Barcelona's last US friendly?

Barcelona will leave North American territory after the clash with the New York Red Bull on Saturday night. The difficulty of the games against Real Madrid and Juventus will lower for this clash, which is going to be more similar to the big win over Inter Miami, even though the RB are higher up in MLS.

Robert Lewandowski will be the man to watch as he tries to score his first goal in a Barcelona shirt in his third game. He played 45 minutes against Real Madrid and another 60 against Juventus, with this game being his chance to get off the mark for Barça. Xavi will keep giving him confidence and he will lead the line for the club this season.

The doubt is about those who will be in the front line with him, with Ansu Fati, Raphinha, Dembélé, and Aubameyang, fighting for the other two spots. Ferran Torres will not feature as he still has a problem with his foot.

NYRB have been living in the shadow of New York City FC since they were created in 2015. That side is owned by Manchester City’s group and has gone beyond what the Red Bulls have accomplished. Caden Clark is their best player, is on loan from Leipzig and curiously formed at the Barça Academy in Arizona. NYRB are third in the Conference East, but were thrashed 5-1 by Orlando City in the MLS cup.
