United coach Josep Gombau, who has connections to Spanish giants Barcelona is
excited to pit his team against the top-six La Liga side.
"They
play very good and attractive football where we also get the chance to play and
compare ourselves with a team that implements the same style as us,"
Gombau said.
"Last
year we brought out Malaga, and they play fantastic football. The people of
Adelaide got to see this and they will have the chance to see it all again.

will also be a good way to end the season. It will be a fantastic game in front
of our fans at our stadium. I hope to see everyone out supporting us."

Brisbane and to be involved in the LFP World Challenge," Managing Director
Sean Dobson said.
"We're
expecting a highly entertaining, challenging match that will provide us with a
big push towards our Hyundai A-League 2015/16 campaign, along with the
Liverpool match in July.
