After a disappointing 2018-2019 season where the Rossoneri finished out of the UEFA Champions League qualification places in Serie A, AC Milan got their preseason off to a sluggish start, going goalless in a 1-0 loss to Bayern Munich earlier this week in an International Champions Cup match. On Sunday, however, Milan get to face a team in SL Benfica that they have beaten four times without a defeat in six competitive European matches, according to 90Min.com . The squad under new coach Marco Giampaolo sees the return of several previously injured players to face the Portuguese champions, and the game looks like it should produce goals. The match will live stream from Foxborough, Massachusetts.

The new AC Milan boss has already received praise from his star attacker Fabio Borini, who believes that the more wide-open style of play under Giampaolo will take the team into a more “modern” era, according to SportsStar .
“The coach’s ideas are different and more complex, but also more fun and engaging for us players,” Borini said, comparing Giampaolo to the now-departed Gennaro Gattuso, who resigned after last season’s fifth-place finish. “There isn’t a desire to wait for the opposition, we want to get at them from the beginning until the end instead.
But Borini, according to transfer rumors circulating over the weekend, may not be around to enjoy the new style much longer. According to a report bye Sports Lens , English Premier League side Newcastle United may now be preparing a bid for the 28-year-old, who could be on the market as Milan attempt to add funds for future transfers.
