Mourinho set for Camp Nou return as Barcelona face Roma in Joan Gamper Trophy

Jose Mourinho will return to Camp Nou in August to face Barcelona with his Roma side in the Joan Gamper Trophy.

The Gamper acts as the curtain-raiser for Barcelona’s season, with the Blaugrana taking on Juventus in last year’s edition, which was the first to involve both the men’s and women’s teams.

Barcelona announced on Wednesday that Roma are the chosen opposition for this year’s version, with the games set to take place on August 6.

Mourinho will head back to the Camp Nou, where he was Louis van Gaal’s assistant for three seasons until 2000, on the back of lifting the Europa Conference League with Roma.
