After a rough past few seasons that saw them miss out on European competition, AC Milan are determined to get back on track. The Rossoneri finished in sixth last term, which gives them a shot at featuring in the Europa League. Now under new ownership, the club's owners have been splashing the cash in a bid to help the fallen giants return to the pinnacle of European football, and have made quite a statement, with nearly €190 million spent so far.
What dates: The Rossoneri are in action on July 18th and the 22nd. Then, it's back to competitive action as they take on Eastern European outfit CS U Craiova in the third round of the Europa League qualifying play-offs. Finally, their last match will be on August 9th.
Who are the opponents: AC Milan will face Borussia Dortmund, followed by Bayern Munich. Next month, they will meet Spanish side Real Betis in Catania.
