In their final match of the calendar year, Real Madrid travel to the Sevens Stadium in Dubai to take on AC Milan of Serie A in a friendly on Tuesday.
The match, which may seem unnecessary to many, is primarily an opportunity for both clubs to heighten their presence in a new commercial market, given that both Real Madrid and AC Milan are sponsored by Emirates.
According to Jose Felix Diaz of Marca , it will be Real's "fourth piece of business in the Gulf Region this year," following a friendly against Paris Saint-Germain in Qatar and "the deals struck with the Abu Dhabi National Bank and the International Petroleum Investment Company (owned by the Abu Dhabi government) for sponsorship and stadium naming rights respectively."
However, the match also represents an opportunity for Carlo Ancelotti to experiment, as Los Blancos take a break from their barnstorming run of 22 straight competitive victories in all competitions.
Across the following slides, we examine three things the manager could test in Tuesday's friendly.
