Milan are going face to face with Barcelona at the Levi`s Stadium in the International Champions Cup fixture. The match will be played in Santa Clara on Sunday, August 5th.
Milan have been struggling both from the playing style perspective and from the financial perspective for the last several years. Il Diavolo have seen their owners change several times and the management either saved too much money or spent too much, last year for example. This summer Milan have completed another big signing in the person of Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus. I Rossoneri have had three friendly matches this off-season. They`ve beaten Novara with a 2-0 score, drew against Manchester United with a 1-1 score (lost in the penalty shootout) and lost to Tottenham Hotspur with a 0-1 score.

Barcelona have changed their playing style a little bit this summer. Their home grown talent and the leader of the team Andres Iniesta left the Blaugrana. However, some new young talented players came to the squad of Barca. The team has had two friendly matches this summer, drew against Tottenham Hotspur with a 2-2 score (won in the penalty shootout) and lost to Roma with a 2-4 score.
The Spanish side has been looking better than the Italians lately and it is likely that the Blaugrana will dictate their playing style in the upcoming fixture. Barcelona loves to focus on their offensive line and the International Champions Cup is the best place for them to practice their bright productive playing style. Milan would have to respond with the same fully offensive style in the upcoming fixture because they will not be able to lock up in the defense safely.
Prediction for the match: Over 3.0 goals scored.
