Football: Bayern v Barca friendly a sell-out in Munich

Bayern Munich’s pre-season friendly against Barcelona at the Allianz Arena on July 24 is a sell-out the German treble-winners said Friday.

It will be a quick reunion for new Bayern coach Pep Guardiola with his former employers just a year after leaving the Catalan giants.

Guardiola, who joins a side fresh from winning the Champions League, Bundesliga and German Cup, will take his first training session in Bavaria on June 26.

Bayern humiliated Barca 7-0 on aggregate in the Champions League semi-finals earlier this season.

Guardiola won the treble in his first of four seasons as Barca boss in 2009.
