Brighton to play Champions League winners
The FA Cup and Champions League winners will face the Seagulls on Saturday, August 4 after initial plans to host a friendly on August 11 were deemed too close to the start of the season.
Tickets will be limited to less than 20,000 because of ongoing work increasing the capacity of the Seagulls’ home and details and prices will be released over the coming days.
