Hansi Flick’s Barça is aiming to end their summer tour of the United States on a high note with a big win against AC Milan. They are coming off a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid, and in their first match, they beat Manchester City in a penalty shootout.

This will be the final game of the Blaugrana team’s three-game series in the United States, where they will take on AC Milan on Wednesday, August 7th (in Baltimore). The match will be held at M&T Bank Stadium, an American football stadium situated in downtown Baltimore, Maryland. It serves as the home stadium for the Baltimore Ravens NFL team.

Once they return to Barcelona, the Blaugrana squad will compete for the Joan Gamper Trophy against AS Monaco on August 12. This will be their final friendly match before kicking off LaLiga EA Sports at the Mestalla stadium against Rubén Baraja’s Valencia on August 17.

A total of 31 players have traveled with Barça on this North American tour, with only 14 having first-team experience. Young full-back Alejandro Balde has already seen some action, but Oriol Romeu has left the tour (heading to Girona). Lewandowski and Christensen have both had significant playing time during this tour, and German internationals Marc André Ter Stegen and Ilkay Gündogan joined the team in Orlando for the first match against City (2-2 draw, 4-1 win in penalties).

One of the standout players on this tour is Pau Víctor. The young talent, signed from Girona FC, scored two goals against Real Madrid to secure a 2-1 victory. This marked his second consecutive game with a goal, as he also scored against Manchester City.

Ronald Araújo is sidelined for several weeks due to a significant muscle injury suffered while playing for Uruguay in the Copa América. Pedri also picked up an injury during the Euro Cup, and is currently unable to participate in the friendlies. Lastly, Gavi is recovering from a long-term injury from last season and will gradually return during the preseason.

They will face Paulo Fonseca’s AC Milan, who is starting a new project with the coach. In their first preseason match in the United States, the Rossoneri team won 2-3 against Manchester City. In their second match, they beat Real Madrid 1-0, thanks to a goal from Samu Chukwueze. This is a major rival to finish the tour of the United States.
