FC Barcelona will do something for the first time in 24 years tonight by playing a good old triangular.

You'd have to go back to the 2002/2003 preseason to find the last.

In Amsterdam, recent summer signing Juan Román Riquelme impressed by scoring two during a 4-2 win over Parma.

To the home team Ajax, though, Louis Van Gaal's side lost 4-3. 🧵

Really, really appreciate all the love and support The 1899 is already receiving.

Starting the end of this month, the unrelenting content begins! Myself, Tom and Pol aim to differentiate ourselves and deliver Barça fans with the best in-depth written content we can.

Trials are free, all I can do is encourage you to give it a go and let us know if it’s worth your time!

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

Where it all began on this side of the pond: Room 546 of the Hotel Catalonia in Plaça d'Espanya.

A brave father and son prepare for the youngster to take his first trial at FC Barcelona after travelling 10,000kms from their hometown, Rosario.

The rest, as they say, is history. Thank you eternally, Jorge Messi, y que en paz descanse ♥️

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

@HenilAhir4710 No? We ask respectfully...

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

Surely selling Ferran to PSG for €50m, when we agreed to pay City €55m to land him in 2021, would be another masterstroke from Deco?

Less than 11 months on his contract too...

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

With reliable outlets in Argentina having now confirmed the news, we regretfully say Rest in Peace to Jorge Messi.

One of the most important figures in FC Barcelona history, who took the brave step to venture across the Atlantic with his teenage son at the turn of the Millenium, and effectively handed us the greatest player of all time. Love and condolences to the Messi family.

Visca el Barça!

[Neal 🇦🇺 @NealGardner_]

Big announcement from Tom, Pol and myself!

Very happy to announce that the three of us will be teaming up to bring you your fix of all things Barça, in as much depth as possible, consistently throughout the season.

This project has been in the works for a good while now. I’ve really wanted to get my written content back on track, and I truly believe this is the best way to do that.

I hope that comes across in our work!

@AzeezOlashile3 @NealGardner_ @TomSandersonBCN We were there in the away end to watch Lamine score that one!

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

@PedriElMejor8 They're certainly working wonders in the market this summer!

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

Diego Simeone's comments today seem to put a move for Julian Alvarez to bed, while Ferran also seems destined for PSG.
Who should FC Barcelona pursue as their new number 9, or is an in-house 'false nine' solution better?

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

@CuleConfessions Good points well made!

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

@Lexisfcb007 The €40 million talked about wouldn't be bad business at all!

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

Marc Casadó will NOT travel to Udine to play the triangular. FC Barcelona's next exit?

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

@T_Mauno Surely they can in one of the (half) games

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

Bon dia, Culers! It's a game of two halves this evening, as FC Barcelona take on Udinese and Nottingham Forest in a good old-fashioned triangular.

Who or what are you most looking forward to seeing in the Friuli Venezia Giulia Cup?

[The 1899 @The1899FCB]

@ClassicLitmanen @Timbigomis18 Easy mistake to make!
