Two of the most successful sides in UCL history meet again

Two of the finest clubs in European football history, Real Madrid and AC Milan will lock horns for a pre-season friendly in the United States. The current UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid have already started to make headlines with big accusations like their long-time target Kylian Mbappe. Los Blancos would also like to start the 2024-25 season with a bang on-field. 

Seven times European champions AC Milan would also look to make a statement when they face the champion side from last season. AC Milan finished runners-up in the Serie A, with a huge gap with leaders & rivals Inter Milan in the points table. To improve things, the club has already secured big names like Alvaro Morata.

This fixture is set to be Real Madrid’s first big game this season. However, AC Milan have already faced Manchester City in the previous match, earning a hard-fought win in the five-goal thriller.

Kick-Off:

Thursday, 1 August at 1:30 AM UK; 6:00 AM IST

Location: Soldier Field, Chicago

Form

Real Madrid (in all competitions): W-D-D-W-W

AC Milan (in all competitions): W-D-L-D-L

Players to Watch:

Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid)

The German defender played an impressive part in Real Madrid’s magical 2023-24 season. He played in 48 games and acted as a perfect shield for Carlo Ancelotti’s side. His combination with Carvajal made Real Madrid’s defence impossible to break.

The 31-year-old can contribute as both- a centre-back and a right-back. Rudiger needs to lead the defence in the absence of some key players from the Los Blancos camp.

Lorenzo Colombo (AC Milan)

22-year-old Lorenzo Colombo is expected to start in this fixture. The lethal Italian striker has returned from his loan spell to AC Monza, where he played 25 Serie A games last year, scoring four goals. 

His contributions in the pre-season friendlies will be enough to judge whether he would be a perfect substitute for newly signed Alvaro Morata. Colombo hails good pace and dribbling qualities, making him capable of playing as a winger from the right too.

Match Facts:

• AC Milan haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last seven matches.
• Real Madrid haven’t lost in their last 10 games.
• AC Milan’s last win against Real Madrid came in 2014.
