Champions League winners Barcelona travel to the United States to take on LA Galaxy in front of 93,000 fans at the Rose Bowl - the largest attendance for a football game in the country since the 1994 World Cup
Barcelona's big names make the trip including Thierry Henry, Xavi and Carles Puyol. Star winger Lionel Messi captains the side and new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic watches on as he recovers from hand surgery
Both sets of players wear black tape around their arms as a mark of respect for Barcelona's former manager Sir Bobby Robson, who died on Friday
Barcelona take the lead when young Spanish striker Pedro Rodriguez fires home from close range on 11 minutes after Messi's shot is deflected
England winger David Beckham, who has been given a torrid time by the Galaxy crowd following his loan spell in Italy, is booed again at the Rose Bowl but takes time out to say hello to Henry
Beckham answers some of his critics with a trademark free-kick to put Galaxy level on the stroke of half-time. "I always work hard for the team, I work hard for the manager and I work hard for the fans," he says
Landon Donovan, who accused Beckham of a lack of commitment following his time with AC Milan, puts the spat behind him to congratulate the 34-year-old for his equalising strike
Barcelona dominated long spells of the keenly-contested match, Henry taking evasive action to try and keep the ball away from Dema Kovalenkok's challenge
The visitors eventually claim the winner in the 67th minute when substitute Jeffren Suarez pounces on a Sergio Busquets through ball to fire home
The result gives Barcelona a winning start to their three-match US tour - their second win in three pre-season games. "We played a very good game against a team that is very strong physically," says coach Pep Guardiola
