The match was postponed from its original date due the to health concerns of Tito Vilanova, who stepped down as manager of the La Liga club. He was replaced by Tata Martino, who will do his best to make an impact in a hurry after just meeting the whole squad.
Although his input will not likely be easily seen in the upcoming match, the club must show continued improvement over the course of this month heading into the year.
On the other side, Lechia Gdansk is a mid-table squad in Poland's top league which is looking to test itself against one of the best clubs in the world. A strong performance would give the team a lot of confidence going forward.
Both squads are looking for a strong performance in this friendly, so it is certain to be a competitive match throughout.
