Barcelona‘s US Tour Ends in Defeat Against AC Milan, Dani Olmo Deal Agreed
Barcelona‘s tour of the United States ended on a sour note as they suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of AC Milan in the Joan Gamper Trophy match. The match was played at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida, and saw Milan dominate the proceedings to secure a comfortable victory.
Defeat Against AC Milan
Barcelona‘s defeat was their second in as many matches on their US tour, following a 1-0 loss to Real Madrid in the El Clásico friendly. Milan’s goals came courtesy of Rafael Leão and Brahim Díaz, who both found the net in the second half to seal the win for the Italian giants.
Dani Olmo Deal Agreed
Despite the disappointing result, Barcelona fans have something to cheer about as the club has agreed a deal to sign Spanish winger Dani Olmo from RB Leipzig. The 23-year-old has been a long-term target for the Blaugrana, and his signing is seen as a significant boost to the team’s attacking options.
US Tour Recap
Barcelona‘s US tour was intended to be a chance for the team to gain valuable match practice ahead of the new La Liga season. However, the two defeats against Real Madrid and AC Milan have raised concerns about the team’s readiness for the upcoming campaign.
What’s Next for Barcelona?
With the US tour now over, Barcelona will return to Spain to continue their preseason preparations. The team will face off against local rivals Girona in a friendly match before kicking off their La Liga campaign against Athletic Bilbao on August 14.
