Barcelona and Nottingham Forest are set to clash in a preseason test that is unlike any other unfolding across Europe.

The two sides, along with Udinese, will play in the inaugural Friuli Venezia Giulia Cup, a triangular preseason tournament that features three 45-minute matches back-to-back. Udinese kick off the action against Forest, before the English club then faces off with Barcelona.

Hansi Flick’s men then conclude the round-robin format against Udinese at the Bluenergy Stadium in Udine, Italy.

Barcelona come into their clash with Forest off the back of just one preseason friendly, a 2–2 draw with Birmingham City that they ultimately lost 3–2 on penalties. Oliver Glasner’s side, meanwhile, collected victories against Notts County and Blackburn Rovers before getting thrashed 4–1 by Celtic.

Here’s how to watch the upcoming friendly.
