Barcelona invites Chapecoense to play friendly (The Associated Press)

Barcelona says it has extended an invitation to host a friendly match against the Brazilian soccer club involved in last week's plane crash. Chapecoense was on its way to the final of the Copa Sudamericana, one of South America's most prestigious club tournaments, when its flight went down in Colombia, killing all but six of the 77 players, officials and journalists on board. The friendly, called the Joan Gamper trophy, is used as Barcelona's traditional curtain raiser for the new season.
