Friendlies: the summer’s most bizarre results 😅

Not everything went as planned.

The summer friendly match period often brings surprises and unexpected results.

Between tactical tests, players in recovery, and ambitious teams, some scores stand out and get people talking.

This July, several matches offered entertainment, with impressive margins and some remarkable feats.

Here’s a look back at the most improbable results that marked this pre-season.

Asean All-Stars 1-0 Manchester United

Despite Hojlund, Mainoo, Casemiro, and Ugarte, the Red Devils fell to a selection of players from Southeast Asia.

A true offensive festival for Roma against a semi-pro club.

The young Brazilians handed a heavy defeat to the Germans. Never great for starting a preparation.

Roma really left nothing for their lower-category opponents.

The big surprise in Italy: Arezzo, a Serie C club, toppled the reigning champion. Ouch.

9 goals and defenses still a bit on vacation.

This one is going to hurt.
