Competing in the 2023 Soccer Champions Tour event at Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, Nevada, the two fielded different squads.
Ansu Fati's goal in the second half lasted until the end of the game
AC Milan played a lot of its new players; Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, and Tijani Reijnders, while Barcelona played Oriol Romeu.
The game was tight from the first half. Buying and selling attacks ensued, but did not result in goals.
Only in the second half, Ansu Fati became the difference. The young Barcelona forward was able to break Milan's goal in the 55th minute.

Taking advantage of Alejandro Balde's thrust, Ansu Fati followed it up with a right-footed shot that sent the ball into Milan's goal. The position became 1-0 for Barcelona.
After winning, Barcelona can control the course of the game. The influx of many new players after the break allowed the La Liga representatives to be in control.
While Milan is quite struggling. Only after making substitutions can the Rossoneri spread a little threat.
However, no counter-goal could be scored by Milan until the end of the match. The final result became 1-0 for Barcelona's victory.
Barcelona will next play Tottenham Hotspur in the Joan Gamper Trophy, while Milan will play Monza in Silvio Berlusconi's Trofeo, both on August 8.
