Barcelona manager Luis Enrique asked some of his youngsters and fringe players to step up in the 3-1 win over Celtic, and that's exactly what happened, with Munir El Haddadi finding the net and putting together a solid showing.

Several of the Catalans' biggest stars are only just returning from their summer break, and while Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez have already been training with the squad for some time, fans shouldn't expect to see the team's best XI in Sweden.

That should give the likes of Munir and Sergi Samper another chance to prove their worth, and the latter wants to take full advantage, per the club's official website:

"

The idea is to get playing time. We struggled at first because we’ve had a lot of tough training sessions this week, but we were able to compete well. I got to wear the captain’s armband for a while and I’m really happy about that.

I am working hard to make the most of my chance to stay here at Barca. But it’s the coach who has the final word.

"

Leicester are a bit further along in their preparations, starting their pre-season earlier, and while the loss against PSG was a tough pill to swallow, manager Claudio Ranieri's troops can be quite happy with their efforts so far.

The Foxes are out to prove their 2015-16 Premier League title was no fluke, starting with their first appearance in the Community Shield, where they'll take on Manchester United on Sunday. The UEFA Champions League will follow shortly after, and Ranieri has done everything possible to prepare his side for the increased level of competition, per Squawka Football:

Following the loss of star midfielder N'Golo Kante to Chelsea, the Foxes have gone through an odd summer, where transfer speculation has been rampant.

Per MailOnline's Spencer Morgan, Ranieri admitted the constant chatter has had an effect on Riyad Mahrez, and star striker Jamie Vardy has also been linked with a move away from the club.

Per Bleacher Report UK, fans won't have to fear the latter will be leaving anytime soon, however:

The Foxes should shift their focus toward Barcelona, however, as another heavy defeat could ruin all of the momentum the club have built in the last few weeks ahead of the Premier League campaign.

Messi and Suarez were surprisingly sharp against Celtic, and the Barcelona youngsters, who are as motivated as ever, are just as dangerous.

It will be another serious test for Ranieri and his men, but with the start of the season right around the corner, that's exactly what they need.
