THE BIGGER PICTURE
The fixture comes just four months after Xavi's side embarked on a lengthy trip to America for their 2023-24 preseason tour. They have played in Dallas before, beating Real Madrid 3-0 in a summer clasico. According to a cut of the proceeds from the match will be donated to relief efforts for Hurricane Otis, which hit Mexico a few weeks ago.
