Schedule, TV, probable XI and statistics: All the details of Milan-Barcelona on the USA Tour 2024

Exciting match in Baltimore! FC Barcelona, notably emboldened after achieving a couple of good results against top-tier rivals such as Manchester City (2-2) and Real Madrid (1-2), will seek to conclude the 2024/25 pre-season tour with a clean sweep of victories. Their main obstacle? AC Milan, the team they will face this early Wednesday morning on August 7th at 01:30 at the M&T Bank Stadium.

This clash between two of the top teams in the 2024 Soccer Champions Tour promises to be thrilling, as the 'rossoneri' approach this duel without having tasted defeat yet. Paulo Fonseca's side also comes off victories against the 'merengues' (1-0) and the 'citizens' (2-3). This 'showdown' will test two teams that have built a strong rivalry over the years, with a total of 21 encounters between them. In this regard, the series favors the Barcelona team, having secured nine victories, while the Italians have claimed six wins, with six draws as well.

For this match, the Catalan club will have the majority of their assets available, despite some key absences. Among the injured are Ronald Araújo, Frenkie de Jong, Pedri González, Ansu Fati, and Pablo Gavi, along with players participating in the Olympic Games with the Spanish national team (Fermín López, Pau Cubarsi, and Eric García) and the newcomers to the Joan Gamper Sports City (Ferran Torres and Lamine Yamal). Despite these absences, FC Barcelona will be able to rely on most of their key players for this crucial match, with only Alejandro Balde and Pablo Torre being doubtful due to apparent muscle discomfort.

With almost all of their assets available, there is uncertainty about the pieces Hansi Flick might choose. Being the third and final match of the pre-season tour in the United States, some may think the German coach could opt to give playing opportunities to young players who may not have had many chances to demonstrate their worth. On the other hand, some argue that the match against the Milanese team could be an ideal opportunity for players like Raphinha, İlkay Gündoğan, and Jules Koundé, who have recently joined the Blaugrana dynamics, to accumulate playing minutes.
