Samuel Chukwueze emerged as the star for AC Milan, scoring the decisive goal in their 1-0 victory over Real Madrid during a pre-season friendly in Chicago. Chukwueze's goal came in the 55th minute, a left-footed finish after a well-executed team move. This match followed his impressive performance where he assisted two goals against Manchester City just days prior. New AC Milan coach Paulo Fonseca expressed optimism about the win, emphasizing the importance of building team confidence. Real Madrid struggled to find the net, managing only eight shots, and played without key players like Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham. The victory marks a strong start for AC Milan under Fonseca, as they remain unbeaten in their pre-season campaign.
