Barcelona put four past Napoli at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor on Saturday to wrap up their pre-season campaign.
Barca manager Ernesto Valverde extolled the virtues of new player Antoine Griezmann, especially with talisman Lionel Messi sidelined with a calf injury.
His opposite number Carlo Ancelotti took heart from the game, predicting a “good season” for the Italian side.
Outside the stadium, fans waited to catch a glimpse of their heroes. Luis Suarez appeared, while Jean-Clair Todibo gave his match shirt to a youngster.
New signing Frenkie de Jong believed the Catalan giants would be competing on every front this year, while local boy Carles Alena seemed encouraged by rumours that Neymar would return to Barca.
Fresh off their victory of the inaugural La Liga-Serie A cup, Barca begin their domestic campaign against Athletic Bilbao on August 16.
Napoli have a longer wait, kicking off the 2019-20 season against Fiorentina on August 24.
