Real Madrid Kicks Off Pre-Season Against AC Milan in Chicago

Real Madrid is set to kick off their pre-season with a thrilling match against AC Milan in Chicago, Illinois. This upcoming game marks the first pre-season outing for the 2024-25 squad.

Most of Real Madrid’s key players won’t be participating, which opens the door for younger talent. Stars like Brahim Diaz, Endrick, and Arda Guler will have the chance to shine and make a case for more playing time.

For coach Carlo Ancelotti, winning isn’t the main focus right now. Instead, the goals are to improve fitness levels, build confidence, and, importantly, avoid any serious injuries. Expect a lot of changes as he rotates players and gives academy talents some valuable minutes on the pitch.

The match will be held on August 1, 2024, at the iconic Soldier Field. Fans can catch the action starting at 7:30 PM local time or 2:30 AM CET.

If you’re wondering how to watch, the game will be available on Movistar Champions Tour. Additionally, ESPN will have live coverage in the USA, while Premier Sports will air it in the UK. Australia can stream the game on Paramount+, and viewers in India can catch it via FanCode.

Real Madrid has already been enjoying some training sessions while in the USA, gearing up for their face-off with the Serie A giants. Meanwhile, AC Milan recently triumphed over Manchester City in their first pre-season game, winning 3-2. With both teams looking to impress, fans are in for an exciting clash!
