However, Ancelotti's squad has one more chance to sharpen their tactics before heading back to Europe.

According to Goal, they will face Chelsea on August 6 at the Bank of America Stadium in North Carolina.

This will be their final pre-season fixture before the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta in Warsaw, Poland, where they would hope to secure their first silverware of the campaign.
