Barcelona routed Basel 5-2 in a Swiss preseason friendly, with Adeyemi opening his Barça account and Yamal adding a late penalty as the attack looked fluid in a rotated 4-3-3 setup; Abdelkarim scored early in the second half and Jesse Bisiwu capped the win with a late brace.
Barcelona unveiled Karim Adeyemi as their latest signing for about $25m plus $8m in add-ons, signing through 2031 and stressing he can play anywhere in attack, a move driven by coach Hansi Flick.

Adeyemi’s versatility could see him contesting the central role alongside Barça’s wingers under Flick’s plan.
