In a few hours, Europe’s top clubs will begin their participation in the Soccer Champions Tour, a summer tournament that will give us the opportunity to enjoy, among other things, the first classic of the season. The competition kicks off today, with Real Madrid, FC Barcelona, Chelsea, Manchester City and AC Milan facing off.
Before LaLiga kicks off, the world of football has prepared a top-notch tournament for all fans, in which the pre-season is going to be heated up. Through Movistar Plus+ we will be able to watch this tournament that is being played in the United States and that represents an ideal opportunity to see the players on the pitch, especially the new signings.
The first match in a few hours
At midnight on Sunday 28th, which means it will be tonight, the first match of the Soccer Champions Tour will be played. We will still have to wait to see the Spanish teams, but the match between Manchester City and AC Milan promises a high-flying match where some of the best players in Europe will begin to show that they are ready for the season.
This first match will see Manchester City, Rodri and Erling Haaland’s team, face Alvaro Morata’s new team, AC Milan. Rafael Leão is also in the Italian team, and this is a line-up that is also aiming very high. In any case, the starting elevens of each team are not yet known and it remains to be seen who will take to the pitch.
Schedule of the rest of the matches
After Manchester City – AC Milan, the next match will be on Wednesday 31 July at 01:00. That will be when we will see FC Barcelona play, a team that will have to face Manchester City, who will play their second match. Meanwhile, on Thursday 1 August at 02:30, AC Milan will face Real Madrid in a match that is also eagerly awaited to see what kind of eleven of the Spanish team takes to the field.
On Sunday 4th August at 1am the moment that everyone has been waiting for will arrive: the first Clásico with Real Madrid and FC Barcelona facing each other to kick off their usual rivalry this 24-25 season. There is no doubt that it will be a key match to lift spirits, as all fans are waiting to see how their team defeats its eternal rival.
The matches will conclude on Wednesday 7 August with FC Barcelona vs AC Milan at 01:30 CET and Real Madrid vs Chelsea at 01:00 CET on the same day. Against this backdrop, football fans can expect high-calibre sessions to see how all the participating teams, which stand out as some of the best clubs in Europe, are preparing for the season.
The only thing to keep in mind is that many players will not be on the pitch yet. Due to the Euro 2024 and Copa América 2024, there are footballers who are still resting on their holidays. This will prevent us, for example, from seeing some of the biggest stars of both clubs and even their latest signings. However, this does not diminish the interest of a series of matches that, especially due to the importance of the classic, will surely have viewers in front of the screen eagerly awaiting. For Movistar Plus+ subscribers, it will undoubtedly be a good way to enjoy good football during the summer.
