Pre-Season Tour Comes to an End
AC Milan has officially concluded its international pre-season tour and is set to return to Italy tomorrow. The Rossoneri made stops in three countries — facing Arsenal in Singapore, Liverpool in Hong Kong, and Perth Glory in Australia — using the tour to sharpen tactics and test the squad’s depth ahead of the new season.
Training Resumes in Milan
Upon their arrival back in Milan, the team will resume training in the afternoon of August 5. This session will mark the beginning of an intense preparation phase as the club shifts its focus toward the upcoming Serie A campaign. With a clear target of finishing in the top four, Milan is determined to secure a return to the UEFA Champions League by the end of the season.
Tactical Experiments by Allegri
Throughout the pre-season tour, head coach Massimiliano Allegri took the opportunity to experiment with a variety of tactical setups. These tests were aimed at identifying the most effective system to maximize the squad’s strengths and integrate new signings. The matches also provided valuable minutes for younger players and fringe squad members, helping Allegri assess the full depth of his roster.
Dominant Win Over Perth Glory
Milan capped off their tour with a dominant 9-0 victory over Perth Glory at HBF Park in Perth, Australia, on Thursday, July 31. Despite not fielding their full-strength lineup, the Italian side put on an attacking masterclass, showcasing the talent and hunger of their developing players and recent acquisitions.
Goals in the match came from a range of contributors: Filippo Terracciano, Noah Okafor (who scored twice), Christian Comotto, Samuel Chukwueze, Rafael Leão (also with a brace), Samuele Ricci, and Yunus Musah. The overwhelming scoreline highlighted Milan’s superiority from the opening whistle and emphasized the attacking depth now available to the squad.
Positive Momentum Ahead of the Season
This emphatic win added to Milan’s undefeated pre-season record. The team previously edged out Arsenal in a penalty shootout and secured a win over Liverpool, reflecting a promising level of form heading into domestic competition.
With confidence riding high and the roster beginning to take shape under Allegri’s guidance, AC Milan now turns its full attention to the challenges of Serie A — where every point will count in their mission to reclaim a place among Europe’s elite.
