RB Salzburg vs Barcelona: Where to watch in India, USA and UK

Barcelona continue their pre-season preparations with another intriguing match this week as they take on RB Salzburg on Wednesday. The Catalan giants have excelled under Ronald Koeman over the past month and will have to step up in this game.

RB Salzburg have been impressive in their pre-season and will look to dominate the Austrian Bundesliga this year. The Austrian outfit thrashed Ried by a 7-1 margin last week but will face an uphill battle in this match.

Barcelona have scored 10 goals in their last three matches and seem to have settled on a formidable system under Ronald Koeman. The Blaugrana eased past VfB Stuttgart in their previous game and will want a similar result against RB Salzburg.

During his time here, he has had the privilege of covering a press meeting during the collaboration between his favorite club Bengaluru FC and Sevilla, where he got a chance to interact with Sevilla president Jose Castro and explore the grassroots development in his city.

Aditya started following the sport after being dazzled by Ronaldinho’s silky feet at the 2006 FIFA World Cup. He is a Barcelona fan and unsurprisingly, his favorite manager and players are Pep Guardiola and Andres Iniesta respectively. He admires the latter for his superhuman talent and his off-pitch demeanor, and his winning goal in Spain’s 2010 World Cup final win over the Netherlands left a lasting impact on Aditya.

The match-preview specialist believes that his ongoing five-year stint at Sportskeeda has given him the ability to identify the distinct line between emotional and fact-based articles, which separates him from other journalists. For him, fact-checking is the most integral part of his writing process and he only relies on authentic platforms for data.
