FC Barcelona handed summer signing Marcus Rashford and goalkeeper Joan Garcia their first starts at Camp Nou in Sunday’s Trofeo Joan Gamper friendly, the club’s traditional curtain-raiser for the new season. In an unusual move, both Garcia and injured first-choice keeper Marc-André Ter Stegen were assigned the No. 1 jersey. Ter Stegen, sidelined after back surgery, wore the shirt for the pre-match presentation and captain’s address, while Garcia kept the number once play began. The match also highlighted Barcelona’s administrative workload: the club still must register seven players, including Rashford and Garcia, with La Liga before its league opener away to Mallorca next week.
