Watch Barcelona Vs. Tottenham Hotspur Live Stream: International Champions Cup, Start Time, Watch Live Online
The preseason International Champions Cup event continues on Saturday on perhaps its biggest stage so far: the 91,000-seat Rose Bowl. Spanish La Liga champions Barcelona roll into southern California to face English Premier League title hopefuls Tottenham Hotspur, but despite the potentially massive crowd, the game will feature almost none of the big name stars from either side, thanks to the recently completed 2018 FIFA World Cup, the Los Angeles Times reports. Nonetheless, the game will live stream from Pasadena to complete a massive weekend of International Champions Cup showcase matches.
With nine players having represented their countries in Russia, Hotspur placed more players in the World Cup than any other franchise — including superstar striker Harry Kane and goalkeeper Hugo Lloris, whose France team ended up wining the tournament, while Kane’s England team reached the semifinals. As a result, neither player will figure in the proceedings in Pasadena.
On the Barcelona side, Lionel Messi of Argentina, Luis Suarez of Uruguay, and Spain’s Gerard Pique all remain on holiday after the World Cup and will not be seen in Saturday’s preseason match.

Tottenham’s Son Heung-min, who appeared in the World Cup for his native South Korea, will likely be the biggest name to play in the Rose Bowl matchup, and according to the L.A. Times, he appeared to be enjoying the spotlight leading up to the game.
“It’s very special to have this kind of support,” Son told the paper. “At Tottenham we’re all about taking care of our fans. We believe that’s very important. I’m just so lucky that I have all these people who would come out for me to see me train, to see me play football.”
