Barcelona line-up against two club legends in their pre-season friendly versus Vissel Kobe on Saturday.

Andres Iniesta and David Villa are both winding down their careers in Japan, while Sergi Samper has also recently moved to the club.

It will be another chance for Barcelona to show off new signings Antoine Griezmann and Frenkie De Jong, while Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez are still unavailable after their efforts at the Copa America.

After the fixture, Barcelona will continue their pre-season tour against Arsenal, before back-to-back games against Napoli ahead of their La Liga defence.
