Juventus’ pre-season schedule involves some interesting encounters, with games against European giants Bayern Munich and Benfica as well as a massive fixture against European champions Real Madrid.
Saturday 20 July 2019
Manchester United vs. Inter, National Stadium, Singapore
Kick-off 19.30 (local time).
After almost two weeks of preparations at the Carnago training centre, the side will fly to the United States for a sixth appearance at the International Champions Cup.
The first fixture in the schedule will be against Bayern Munich on Tuesday 23 July at Children’s Mercy Park in Kansas City at 20:00 local time or 03:00 CEST. The Rossoneri will be back in action five days later in Boston.
Benfica will be the opponents for the match on Sunday 28 July at Gillette Stadium (Foxborough) at 15:00 local time or 21:00 CEST. After this second match, the team will head back to Europe before travelling to Cardiff where Marco Giampaolo’s side will meet Manchester United on 3 August.
After facing the minnows of Benevento, Napoli drastically improve the quality of their opposition as they face Champions League winners Liverpool.
They were both placed in the same group in Liverpool’s Champions League winning campaign, with each team trading equal blows in the two matches they played; Napoli winning the first game at home 1-0, then Liverpool won the reverse fixture 1-0.
Liverpool knocked them out of the competition on goal difference and as a consequence of this Napoli went on an unsuccessful run in the Europa League, so they may be looking to seek revenge against the team that dashed their Champions League dreams.
