Manchester City will travel to Camp Nou on 24 August, more than two weeks into the Premier League season, to face Barcelona in a friendly to raise money for charity.

The City manager, Pep Guardiola, attended Monday’s press conference at his former club to announce the fixture alongside the Barcelona president, Joan Laporta.

They were joined by the club’s former goalkeeper and coach, Juan Carlos Unzué, who was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) two years ago.

All proceeds from the game will go to Fundación Luzón, an ALS research charity. “This is an honour for us,” Guardiola said. “We want to thank Barça for inviting us to this wonderful venue.
