Prediction: 1-1
AS Roma
Barcelona and Roma take on each other at AT&T Stadium in what is expected to be a real football festival. Barca defeated Tottenham on penalties in the opening match of their International Champions Cup campaign, but it has to be noted that they were on the verge of beating Spurs in the regular time. Summer signing Arthur marked his debut with a goal and, no doubt, there is a bright future ahead of him. The Catalan giants are likely to stick to their attacking style of play against Roma and we predict that they are going to find the net in Wednesday’s football game. The Giallorossi, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 4-1 loss to Tottenham in their opener and they certainly want to give fans some cheer. Seeing that Ernesto Valverde is likely to mix the squad against Roma, we predict the two teams are going to play out a draw in Arlington.

Patrick Schick is a Czech Republic international who plays for Sampdoria as a striker. Schick was born in Prague on January 24, 1996 and he started his career at the youth team of his home-town club Sparta Prague.

After ending his loan spell with the Klokani, Patrick Schick moved to Italy, signing a deal with Serie A side Sampdoria for a fee of €4 million. The Czech footballer has been playing for La Samp ever since and you should know that he scored 11 goals in 32 appearances for the club in the 2016/2017 Serie A campaign.
The talented striker, who is very good in the air, scored on his debut for Czech Republic in a 6-0 win over Malta in May 2016. Patrick Schick’s preferred foot is left and his contract with Sampdoria should expire on June 30, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Barcelona):
Barcelona is a Spanish football club based in Barcelona, Catalonia. Barca were founded in 1899 and they are regarded as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Catalan giants won their 24th La Liga title in 2016, with Luis Suarez winning “El Pichichi” award. Barcelona have won five European Cup trophies and a number of top-class players were part of the team in the past.
The likes of Hristo Stoichkov, Romario, Rivaldo, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona and Pep Guardiola are some of many players that played for Barca in the past, but, no doubt, Leo Messi has established himself as the club’s trademark. Barcelona welcome their rivals at Camp Nou, the stadium that was built in 1957.
Barcelona’s local rivals are Espanyol, but the rivalry between Barca and Real Madrid is much bigger. The two La Liga giants face each other in “El Clasico”, which is considered one of the most exciting derbies in the world football. Barca are famous for their football youth school La Masia as well.
