Barcelona’s final stop on their Japan and South Korea tour takes them to Daegu Stadium, where they’ll face Daegu FC on Monday. It caps off a successful Asian swing in which they’ve netted ten goals and produced some eye-catching football.
The squad has been fully involved, with most first-team players getting at least a half each to sharpen their form and build match rhythm. Beyond the fitness and professionalism on display, these games have been just as much about building chemistry and understanding between key partnerships across the pitch, the kind of connections that can turn a good side into a great one, a team that defends their domestic treble and potentially goes further.
From midfield link-ups to attacking combinations, Hansi Flick has used the tour to lay the foundations for a cohesive, fluid Barcelona ahead of the challenges awaiting them back in Europe.
Defensively, though, there have been worrying signs, the high line was badly exposed in the last outing, and Hansi Flick will be demanding a tighter display before heading back to Europe. With Daegu FC sitting bottom of K League 1 and tied as the division’s lowest scorers, a clean sheet should be the bare minimum.
The match kicks off on Monday at 20:00 KST (12:00 BST / 07:00 ET / 04:00 PT), and Culers will be able to catch all the action live on TV. An opportunity to go three from three in the Asian heat presents itself, with Barcelona looking to improve on their previous performances.
Where is the game being shown live?
Like the FC Seoul match, fans in the United Kingdom and United States will be able to watch Barcelona's upcoming match live on DAZN, with the game officially scheduled for broadcast on the streaming platform.
For viewers in other regions, FC Barcelona has confirmed that the match will be streamed live on the club’s official YouTube channel. This marks a shift from their previous strategy of using the Barça Membership platform, following technical issues that disrupted the streaming of their first game against Vissel Kobe.
