Hong Kong Football Festival: AC Milan hold training session despite storm – as it happened

After more than 27,000 fans turned out to watch Liverpool and new signing Hugo Ekitike train at Kai Tak Stadium on Thursday, it was the turn of AC Milan on Friday.

And while the Italian giants had the dubious honour of entertaining their fans at Hong Kong Stadium, they were pretty busy at Kai Tak too.

A kit unveiling at the Puma store in the nearby shopping centre, with players past and present welcomed by a traditional lion dance as they modelled the yellow strip, followed an academy training session with some local youngsters.

And all that after a trio of the club’s living legends went for an early morning jog around the city. Hands up if you spotted Zlatan Ibrahimovic taking a leisurely stroll before breakfast.

Not that Liverpool were resting on their laurels: the club’s merchandise has been flying off the shelves at a new store at Kai Tak Sports Park. We followed that and plenty else on the second big day of the Hong Kong Football Festival.
