The Milan boss started an eleven that included new left back, Pervis Estupinan alongside Nigerian winger, Samuel Chukwueze, Nigerian heritage Swiss star, Noah Okafor and French goalkeeper, Mike Maignan. The goal scoring spree started as early as the third minute as Fillipo  Terracciano opened the floor.

Noah Okafor tripled the numbers with his own double before Comotto and Chukwueze made it 5 before the break. After the break, the Italian side continued from where they stopped as Rafael Leao double, Yunus Musah and Samuele Ricci crowned it up.

Allegri’s men are getting ready for an interesting season ahead and in what is Allegri’s second stint with the club. Milan won the Super Coppa Italia last season but were not able to get into Europe via their league position or the Coppa Italia. This means Allegri will have enough time to lead the team to a Serie A title challenge or a Coppa Italia triumph.

This emphatic result means the former European champions have scored 13 goals in their preseason tour of Asia conceding just three. 

Milan’s next preseason match will be against another Premier League, Leeds United who are just got promoted to the topflight last season. They will also take on World Champions, Chelsea in a preseason match.

Milan will kick start their 25/26 season with a Coppa Italia tie with Bari before opening their league title journey against new Serie A side, Ceremonese.
