The report claims that the La Liga club plans to make a trip to the West Coast to play three or four friendly matches. They don’t know the dates yet because if Barca win theEuropa League, they’d have to plan their schedule according to the UEFA Super Cup. However, the Spanish outlet mentioned which teams they could face.
