Club America defeated FC Barcelona 3-2 in a historic friendly match at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas. This win added insult to injury for the Catalan team, which is having a poor 2023-24 season. The Coapa team had won their 14th league title in Mexico the previous Sunday, after defeating Tigres at the Azteca Stadium. Julian Quinones scored two goals to equalize the score on two occasions, while Henry Martin scored the winning goal in the 82nd minute. Lamine Yamal and Marc Guiu were the scorers for Barcelona. Club America's win over Barcelona is an unusual result, as the two teams have faced each other several times in the last 20 years, but the Mexican team has rarely come out on top. In 2003, Barcelona visited Club America to bid farewell to the team's top scorer, Luis Roberto Alves 'Zague', and won 2-0. Barcelona's loss adds pressure on Xavi Hernandez, who could be replaced by Rafael Marquez, former Barcelona defender and current coach of FC Barcelona Atletic. And so, Club America's victory is a significant one, not just for the team, but for the fans who have been waiting for a win against a top-tier team like Barcelona. But the team's celebration was short-lived, as they know they have to get back to work and prepare for their next match. So, the team will take this win as a confidence booster and move forward, looking to continue their winning streak.
