“I had four great years at Barcelona and I am looking forward to playing there again.” Keita told FCBarcelona.com

“We know we are playing the best team in Europe.

”It is an important game for us, to play against a top class team a few days before the official season gets under way.

”The experience in Italy is going very well so far.
