Spanish giants – and four-time Champions League winners – Barcelona are set to make their maiden trip to Malaysia in August.

Malaysian football fans can expect a thrilling tiki-taka experience from the likes of three-time World Player of the Year Lionel Messi, Xavi, Andres Iniesta, David Villa and Cesc Fabregas.

Barcelona, who are leading the La Liga by a massive 12 points, will be here for the last leg of their Asian Tour after Beijing and Bangkok.

Sadly, though, the Catalans went down 3-1 at home to Real Madrid in the second-leg of the Spanish King’s Cup semi-finals on Tuesday.
