Barcelona and Juventus played out a 2-2 stalemate in their pre-season friendly at the Cotton Bowl Stadium in Dallas, Texas on Wednesday morning with Ousmane Dembele and Moise Kean both bagging two goals.
Barca dominated the possession as they normally do, and they began the match in some style as Dembele put his side ahead with a stunning solo goal. Cutting in from the outside right wing as he normally does, the Frenchman beat three defenders and drilled the ball past the goalkeeper.
