Today’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport focused a lot on the Olympics, following the opening ceremony, but there was also some space left for AC Milan. Among other things, the paper discussed the friendly against Man City.
Paulo Fonseca and his men are currently preparing for the second friendly of the pre-season, taking on Man City at midnight. One can make educated guesses about the starting XI but the pink newspaper at least named two players that will start.
In addition to the game, the mercato and the anti-Inter race also got some attention as Milan – along with other rivals – are looking to close the gap. Take a look below for the quotes and the photos of the headlines.
