Watch: Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang Caps Off Brilliant Barcelona Team Move With A Cheeky Chip
Barcelona kicked off their preseason with an emphatic 6-0 win over MLS side Inter Miami at the DRV PNK Stadium in Florida. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang opened the scoring for Xavi Hernandez's side as new signing Robert Lewandowski, who joined the club from Bayern Munich earlier this week, was sitting on the bench. The former Gabon skipper rounded off a brilliant team move, which was started by another summer recruit Raphinha, with a delicate dink over Miami's goalkeeper Nick Marsman in the 19th minute of the match to make it 1-0.
Barcelona thrash David Beckham's Inter Miami 6-0 in friendly
Barcelona debut with a goal and two assists as the Spanish giants kicked off their four-match US tour with a comprehensive thrashing of David Beckham's Inter Miami on Tuesday. The Brazilian, signed from Premier League Leeds United earlier this month for around $60 million, capped a promising first outing for his new club with a well taken first-half strike after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had given the La Liga giants the lead at a sold-out Drv Pnk Stadium. With fellow new signing Robert Lewandowski not involved ahead of his official unveiling in Miami on Wednesday -- following his move from Bayern Munich -- it was left to Raphinha, 25, to get the thousands of Barcelona fans in attendance excited about the future. "I was very happy to score my first goal and to play well and I hope that continues," Raphinha said. "This is a system which favors me and I think I can really help the team moving forward." The Brazilian was making his debut alongside fellow newcomer Andreas Christensen, who left Chelsea at the end of the season, and both were impressive against Phil Neville's side.
