Milan-Barcelona ICC preview: The San Francisco Clasico

Although the news has been dominated in the last few hours by the surprising signing of Arturo Vidal, Barcelona are looking forward to getting their first victory of this pre-season against AC Milan at Levi's Stadium, home of the San Francisco 49ers.

After a draw and a defeat against Tottenham and Roma, Ernesto Valverde's side would like a victory to sign off their International Champions Cup participation this summer.

It's again expected that the team will be heavily rotated at half time, and Valverde will prioritise the first team players who are on the tour together, placing them in the starting eleven.

He will then give minutes to the Barcelona B players who have flown to the United States.

Against Milan, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen will return, and Paco Alcacer will make his debut after overcoming injury.

Aleix Vidal has already flown back to Spain to conclude his signing with Sevilla, so he will not be part of a Barcelona squad that still has Munir in its ranks, though no one quite understands why, especially as Eric Abidal wants to renew him.

In his pre-match press conference, Ernesto Valverde briefly assessed what his team should expect against the Italians.

"I believe it will be a very well organised Milan, we hope it is a great game, although we know that they are immersed in the summer transfer market with Bonucci going and Higuain arriving," he said.

Indeed, Gennaro Gattuso will not be able to count on the Italian defender, who has signed for Juventus, nor the Argentine striker, who was presented on Friday.
