Even if your assumption is correct, Barcelona's defeat to Arsenal with a score of 5-3 will be an object of ridicule for some people who hate the Catalan team. I agree with your assumption that friendly matches are nothing more than test matches to give players a chance before the official competition starts.

After all, friendly matches are not matches that are so important for all teams, let alone to play as much as possible. It's hard to expect friendly matches to be very interesting because players tend to play it safe to avoid injury, but the result of the match will be judged positively by each coach of the two teams. Next match, Barcelona will face Real Madrid for a friendly match at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, United States.

It is true that this friendly match is nothing but a club promotion event and expands the fan base of each club, either Barcelona or Arsenal. I agree that the benchmark for preparing for next season in friendly matches is not quite right, meaning that friendly matches cannot be a full parameter to measure the quality of the club's squad I think.

Broadly speaking, this is just an event to give playing minutes to young players, by fielding several players from the main squad will attract the attention of the audience. The rest greet the fans and become a holiday venue for the players before the league officially rolls on.

Friendly tournaments held before the start of the season are at least very good for us football fans who yearn for football. Many teams want to win fans and try to popularize football in that region by playing tournaments in the Far East or the USA. Football is one of the most enjoyable sports in the world. It's definitely good to watch the matches. I enjoy watching Real Madrid.

In general, it is not done more for spectacle, in such matches often in the starting line-ups appear players that we do not see during the season, that is, coaches in such matches give an opportunity to prove themselves to new or young players, to evaluate someone and then give a chance to perform in the main matches. That's what pre-season games are mostly about
