Massimiliano Allegri has named his starting eleven for AC Milan’s second friendly clash of the pre-season, taking on Liverpool in Hong Kong.
After the defeat against Arsenal, the Rossoneri are hoping to get a better result from today’s game against Liverpool. Arne Slots’s men have a lot of quality, however, so Allegri will perhaps see it more as a test than a must-win (as he should).

Mike Maignan and Youssouf Fofana, two important players, have both recovered for the game and the new signing Pervis Estupinan is also part of the squad. Saying that, the Rossoneri are still without a striker.

So it’s gonna be a 3 back formation from Allegri for the season after all, and not the much reported 4-3-3
Forza milan
Oh my.. I know the PL teams are a little bit ahead of the preparation, but damn.. Liverpool are toying with us the first minutes lol
They’re always ahead of us.(Série A) . Infact everybody else is. I wonder why
I know it’s pre season but to slap leo at times seems like the right thing to do. Those African mum slap that resets the brain
Put in Torriani, nevermind Terraciano
RLC our new center forward.
Loving this performance
Our counters are deadly, We need a holdup striker to help create more of those situations
Great match from the lads, it’s been a while since I saw this team organized like that.
