August 16th Milan is about to usher in the first official game of the new season, but coach Allegri will be suspended for two games in the Italian Cup.

At 3:15 am on August 18, in the first round of the Italian Cup, Milan will face Serie B team Bari at home. This is Milan's first official game in the new season, but Milan coach Allegri will miss due to suspension.

In the 2023-24 Italian Cup final, Allegri led Juventus to win the championship after defeating Atalanta 1-0. But in the stoppage time of the game, Allegri yelled at the referee and took off his clothes to protest the penalty. He received a red card and was suspended for two games. Therefore, if Milan advances in this round of Italian Cup, Allegri will still be absent in the next round of Italian Cup.

Milan has more than 60,000 fans watching the game on the spot. Before the game, Milan will also hold a ceremony to let the players appear one by one to receive cheers and applause from the fans.
