Viral Outbreak Forces Barcelona to Cancel Highly Anticipated Friendly Match in U.S..

Multiple Barcelona players contracted a viral infection, leading the club to cancel a preseason friendly against Juventus in California.
The canceled match was the first of four friendlies Barcelona had scheduled in the U.S. as part of their preseason tour.
Up to 14 Barcelona players were reportedly affected by the illness, making it impossible for the club to field a competitive team.
The match was set to be played at Levi's Stadium, home of the NFL's San Francisco 49ers, before over 60,000 expected fans.
Barcelona will still face top European teams like Arsenal, Real Madrid, and AC Milan in other preseason friendlies before the La Liga season starts.
