Spanish primera liga team, Barcelona, are to visit China in August and play a friendly match in Shanghai on August 8th. Organisers have announced the star-studded line up for the match between Barcelona and a combined team from Shanghai International and Shenhua Club. Brazil's Ronaldinho, Javier Saviola of Argentina, as well as Dutch internationals Patrick Kluivert and Edgar Davids are just a few of the names set to entertain the enthusiastic Chinese fans. Swedish veteran Henrik Larsson, who has just joined Barcelona after his country's Euro 2004 campaign, is also likely to make the trip to China. The match will give the local side a chance to avenge the Chinese national team's humiliating 6 nil loss to Barcelona last April during its European tour. Shanghai will be the last stop of Barcelona's 2004 Asian tour, which will also take them to South Korea and Japan. This is the third top European football club to visit China in recent years, since Man United's trip to Shanghai in 1999 and Real Madrid's Galacticos' match against the Chinese Dragons in Beijing last year. 转自搜狐
