In a special match tonight , Camp Nou will be treated to a top-class friendly as Barcelona host Manchester City on Wednesday.
The match was organised to raise funds for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research after ex-Barca goalkeeper Juan Carlos Unzue, who previously worked under current City boss Pep Guardiola was diagnosed with the disease.
Unzue was a team mate of Guardiola as well as the goalkeeping coach of the Catalan’s Barcelona team between 2008 and 2010
Tonight fixture serves as a charity fundraiser, as all proceeds will be put into ALS research at the Luzon Foundation
