AC Milan Defeats Liverpool 4-2 in Hong Kong Friendly

AC Milan defeated Liverpool 4-2 in a pre-season friendly at Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong, with Rafael Leao opening the scoring and impressing under new manager Massimiliano Allegri. Milan's goals came from Leao, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, and a brace by Noah Okafor, who drew attention for his standout performance.

Milan's squad depth and player performances, especially Okafor's, provided talking points for the club's future.
