We’re giving you another sample of the bonus episode we put out for our Patreon supporters last Thursday. Gabriel and Brien talked about the return and immediate departure of Marc Cucurella, the appointment of Patrick Kluivert as youth academy boss, Xavi Simons leaving La Masia for PSG, and Xavi Hernandez’s managerial debut at Al Sadd SC.

Today’s sneak peek is our top story from the episode: a quick review of the first pre-season friendly for FC Barcelona in Japan against Chelsea FC.
