0:00.0	Welcome into the last edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas, showing the studio today by Stuart
0:07.4	Robston. We'll kick things off. We'll turn out to be a brilliant match in Texas between
0:12.2	Barcelona and Real Madrid. It would be Basu. It would win by three goals. The Nile Dembele
0:17.7	would open the scoring. Of course, much talk about him going to PSG Lopez then would
0:23.2	come off the bench, got brilliant goal and then set up Ferran Torres for the third. Real Madrid
0:28.8	hit the post five times in total. But it's in the end. It's Barcelona who will take the victory
0:35.0	back to Spain for one. It's let's welcome in, Joey. Look, it's got to see it. It's with us.
0:38.7	As is Sebastian Salazar, Pete Sainte. Except how cool was that? Amazing. I don't know if
0:46.0	the Real Madrid fans left disappointed, but Dan, they definitely left early. After that third

1:13.3	mode, I cannot wait for the start of the La Liga campaign. Luis, this really was an entertaining
1:19.2	affair. And unless you were told about it, you wouldn't even really think it was a pre-season tie.
1:24.0	No, not at all. The intensity, the aggressiveness, the way that the players approach the game.
1:30.2	It looked like a professional game. They were going to play, they're playing for a trophy.
1:36.4	And I don't think that Real Madrid fans should leave the stadium disappointed because they
1:41.2	probably had their chances. Five, positive we saw during the game. And a lot of chances,
1:48.4	a lot of great chances they had. So they had the opportunity to get ahead into the game,
1:52.4	but it was Barcelona who got their chances. It was a little bit more clinical in the last
