Liverpool to take on Barcelona in August; Dublin reported to be the venue

Tony Cuddihy

This will be huge if it happens.

While it’s hard to see beyond this summer’s European Championships, the idea of Liverpool taking on Barcelona in Dublin on 6 August has just made us feel a little bit funny down there.

The International Challenge Cup match has been confirmed for a European venue, although there is still no confirmation that the Aviva will host the reunion of Luis Suarez, Javier Mascherano and their for Liverpool colleagues.

If it happens, it will be the first time Suarez will have faced his old team-mates since moving in the summer of 2014 and given its proximity to the start of next season, you can be certain that both teams’ top stars will be involved.

One match that will definitely be taking place in Dublin is Celtic vs. Barcelona, on Saturday 30 July.

Liverpool’s ICC fixtures are as follows:

  • July 27: Liverpool v Chelsea – Rose Bowl; Pasadena, California. 8:30pm Pacific time (4.30am BST, July 28).
  • July 30: Liverpool v AC Milan – Levi’s Stadium; Santa Clara, California. 7pm Pacific time (3am BST, July 31).
  • August 6: Liverpool v FC Barcelona – TBD European venue. 3pm BST

Here is the full list of confirmed fixtures so far.
