After reorganizing their assault, AC Milan will try to build on their impressive preseason performance after reaching an agreement to sign Yunus Musah, another American midfielder. Without Sandro Tonali, the club is still moving forward and may be creating something exceptional. They have already incorporated Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek into the team. Milan have been playing well to start the preseason, however too much can't be inferred from the results.
It will assist the team get ready for what is sure to be a difficult Serie A season by giving them another test in Barcelona. Although Barca recently defeated Real Madrid in the preseason El Clasico, the defense still needs improvement before the start of the La Liga season.

Storylines
Milan: Again all eyes will be on Christian Pulisic as he continues to sync with the squad. Helping to create space for Rafael Leao, getting into gear is important for the American after a season where he struggled for minutes at Chelsea. It's a fresh start for Pulisic in Serie A and one that he looks to do well with as Milan look to get the Scudetto back after Napoli's triumph last season. Stefano Pioli will have a strong squad at his disposal to do that.
Barcelona: After struggling against Real Madrid, this will be an important game for Sergino Dest who is fighting for his future with the club. He's running out of time to sort out an optimal loan situation if it's determined that he isn't in Xavi's plans but something will have to give sooner than later. With uncertainty surrounding the future of Ousmane Dembele as well, Ferran Torres could get more time to show what he can do on the wing.
