Danilo scored a goal each side of goals scored by Malick Thiaw and Olivier Giroud to give Milan a 2-1 lead going into half time. However, Daniele Rugani scored an equalizer just three minutes after the break, a day before his 29th birthday. Matias Soule, a graduate of Juve's youth academy, scored the game-winning penalty kick to give his team the victory in the shootout. Juve had previously missed two of their own penalty kicks.
In the match on Thursday, Juventus will be looking to claim their first victory against Real Madrid in any competition since April 2018, when they secured a 3-1 second-leg win against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals, despite losing the match 4-3 on aggregate. Juventus will start the new Serie A season on the road against Udinese on August 20.

The victory over AC Milan (3-2) and Manchester United (2-0) in Real Madrid's first two pre-season matches in the United States gave the team confidence heading into the El Clasico matchup against their fiercest rivals, Barcelona, which took place the previous weekend.
Nevertheless, Los Blancos were defeated by the La Liga champions in Texas by a score of 3-0 thanks to goals scored by Ousmane Dembele, Fermin Lopez, and Ferran Torres. This occurred in spite of the fact that Los Blancos had 29 shots on goal, hit the woodwork five times, missed a first-half penalty, and boasted more possession than their Spanish competitors.
Carlo Ancelotti said after the game that "it hurts to lose" against Barcelona, but he emphasized that he is "focusing on the good points" and that he is looking forward to finishing pre-season on a high note with a victory over Juventus.
Real can be proud of their victories in the Copa del Rey, the UEFA Super Cup, and the Club World Cup from the previous season. However, Real will be looking to avoid coming up short in La Liga and the Champions League in 2023-24. Los Blancos will apparently be looking to bridge that gap to glory with the current squad, as president Florentino Perez has stated that their summer transfer business is complete.
