Barcelona have cooked up something rather special for their preseason schedule. The club will host Montpellier in a friendly at the Johan Cruyff Stadium - timed to kick off right as a solar eclipse sweeps across Europe.
The match begins at 7 p.m. local time, placing the second half squarely during the eclipse's peak. Barcelona will sit under a near-total blackout, with roughly 99.81% of the sun obscured. Not your average Wednesday evening friendly.
Fans attending the match will be handed solar viewing glasses to safely gaze skyward without frying their retinas. Players, meanwhile, have been given rather more straightforward instructions: keep your eyes on the ball.
Sensible advice, that. Nobody wants a centre-back staring at the heavens when a through ball arrives.
The eclipse will be visible across swathes of Europe, but few locations will enjoy quite as dramatic a view as Barcelona, as detailed by ESPN.
