Barcelona Starts South Korea Tour with Team Against FC Seoul

July 31, 2025: FC Barcelona will play FC Seoul in South Korea. This is another important preseason friendly as they get ready for the new season. After beating Vissel Kobe in Japan by a wide margin, the Catalan giants want to put on another great show to improve team spirit and confidence. Coach Hansi Flick has a lot of talented players to choose from, and even though he will probably use two different lineups, he has picked a strong starting eleven for the first half of this match.

Joan Garcia is in goal, and her job is to keep FC Seoul at bay and make sure the ball gets to the right people quickly. Pau Cubarsi and Ronald Araujo are the two central defenders who will be key in stopping the South Korean team’s onslaught and keeping an eye on things at all times. Jules Kounde and Alejandro Balde will play as full-backs on the sides, giving the team important breadth and helping with both offense and defense.

Pedri and Frenkie de Jong will be the two defensive midfielders in charge of the midfield engine room. Their creativity should make things easier for the forwards, and their technical skills will be important for controlling the pace of the game. Lamine Yamal and Raphinha will try to make things dangerous from the wings, which will give width and depth to the attack. Dani Olmo is the central offensive midfielder, and his job is to help the team play and connect with his teammates.

Robert Lewandowski is the main center-forward and leads the line. He’ll be in charge of turning chances into goals and showing off his famous belief in front of goal. This strong lineup shows that Flick wants to have a good result and keep building the team’s confidence and unity as they continue their preseason tour.
