AC Milan will take on Barcelona in a pre-season friendly at the Allegiant Stadium on Tuesday. The Italian team has lost both their friendlies so far this pre-season, whereas the Spaniards have won two out of their three fixtures.
Milan were defeated by Real Madrid 2-3 and then were beaten by Serie A rivals Juventus on penalties. Barcelona managed to beat Real Madrid in the pre-season version of the El Clasico and also managed to secure a win against Vissel Kobe. The La Liga champions were only beaten by Arsenal during their US tour.
After remaking their attack, AC Milan will look to continue their strong pre-season form after agreeing to a deal for another American midfielder, Yunus Musah. Already adding Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek into the fold, the club are moving forward without Sandro Tonali but could be building something special. While too much can't be taken from preseason results, Milan have been playing well to start preseason.
With another test in Barcelona, it will help prepare the club for what is sure to be a competitive Serie A season. Barca are coming off of winning a preseason El Clasico versus Real Madrid but the defense has work to do ahead of the beginning of the La Liga season.
FC Barcelona wrapped up their preseason tour of the USA with a 1-0 victory over AC Milan thanks to a sensational second-half strike by 20-year-old Ansu Fati.AC Milan vs. Barcelona: friendly Match resulted (1-0) for AC Milan
It was a deserved victory for a Barcelona side that simply had more ideas and attacking desire, especially through its wingers Raphinha and EZ Abde in the first half. Left winger Ansu Fati and left-back Alejandro Balde then came on in the second half to terrorise Milan's right side and the two combined on the 55th minute goal as Fati curled it into the far top corner.
It will be another strong start for Milan as their attack sparkles but their defense leaves much to be desired in a loss to Barcelona. Pick: Milan 2, Barcelona 3
