Real Madrid will kick off their pre-season tour of the U.S. against AC Milan on Wednesday. The reigning European Champions won their 15th Champions League crown last term and will be the team to beat again in 2024/25. Madrid have since added Kylian Mbappe to the ranks, but the Frenchman, Vinicius Junior, Eder Militao and Rodrygo will not take part in this match.
AC Milan are under new management after Paulo Fonseca was chosen as Stefano Pioli's replacement. The Rossoneri were thrashed 5-2 by Roma in an earlier friendly, so Fonseca will be keen to claim Madrid's scalp in this high-profile clash in Chicago. Summer signing Alvaro Morata could face his former club seven years after leaving the Bernabeu.
