There was a time, not too distant, where the summer served for the major football clubs were measured against teams of lower category, as if they were amateur sparring against a big name. Those meetings served to grease the machinery of templates and fatten markers that were sometimes embarrassing. But those times are over.
Now what prevails is to offer an attractive product mediatically talking. And nothing better than combining the best teams on the continent in a foretaste of what will be the Champions League . A tournament whereReal Madrid andPSG crossed paths in the previous round of the previous edition. A road that ended early for Parisians, in the quarterfinals, and culminated in the glory for whites.
Indeed, this will be the first game of the preseason for men Zinedine Zidane after the appointment of Milan against Atletico Madrid . A premiere in style against a team, now led by Unai Emery , who is always among the candidates to take over the 'romaine', especially if the bench is occupied by the San Sebastian coach, who has led the Sevilla to be three times winner of the Europa League.
The match, to be played at the Mapfre Stadium Ohio ( United States ), it presents notable absentees concidas both Gareth Bale as Cristiano Ronaldo in the side merengue. In the case of the Gauls, who will play their third summer meeting, they start an new era without Zlatan Ibrahimovic , with the obligation to dominate Ligue 1 and extend that dominance to Europe. To do nothing better to start with the champion. And it is that friendlies are not for the summer.
