Speaking of friendlies, today 10 of the 20 teams set to take part in the upcoming league campaign were in action. Below, we take a look at all the results and the key events from the matches.

Lazio-Avellino 6-3

Lazio played the first of two friendlies against Serie B sides in two days.

Against Avellino, the Biancocelesti did score 6 goals, but they also conceded 3. Ratkov grabbed a brace, while Serra, Belayane, Artistico and Taylor also got on the scoresheet. Di Maggio, Besaggio and Pandolfi scored for the Irpini.

Manchester City-Inter 1-1

A penalty shootout was needed to decide the winner between Manchester City and Inter, and thanks to a superb Provedel from the spot, the Nerazzurri came out on top.

In normal time, Pavard equalised in the 20th minute after Mubama had opened the scoring in the 14th. Diouf once again showed promising signs at right wing-back. Chivu, however, reiterated that the squad still needs an addition in that role.

Lecce-Lecce Primavera 3-0

An in-house clash for the Salentini. Stulic and Maleh both scored in the first half, with both looking to be in excellent condition. Dutch midfielder Gorter, born in 2005, also got on the scoresheet.

1. Bologna-Cambuur 3-1

Bologna arranged a double-header friendly against Cambuur. They won the first 3-1 thanks to goals from Odgaard, Cambiaghi and Lo Monaco late on. Vink scored for the Dutch side.

It was interesting to see Tedesco use Cambiaghi as a false nine.

2. Bologna-Cambuur 3-1

The second ended with the same scoreline. The standout performer was Benja Dominguez, who bagged a brace.

Dallinga also scored, while Van der Goot found the net for the visitors.

Cardiff-Roma 4-1

A heavy defeat for Roma against Championship side Cardiff. Gasperini's team fell behind immediately to Ashford, who went on to score twice. The other goals came from Salech and Tanner.

Dybala scored to make it 3-1, although he had missed a penalty in the first half. The first two goals conceded were sloppy, especially the second, which came from a poor back-pass by Wesley to Svilar followed by an unfortunate ricochet.

Mainz-Udinese 3-3

Plenty of entertainment between Mainz and Udinese. Davis and Zaniolo picked up where they left off: a brace for the former and a goal for the playmaker, fresh from signing a new deal. All in the first half.

Udinese's three goals were not enough to win a match opened by Becker's strike and pulled back in the second half by the Germans through Becker's second and Konigsdorffer's late equaliser for 3-3.

St. Etienne-Venezia 4-3

Another goal fest between Saint-Étienne and Venezia. The Lagunari scored through Farji, Adams and Dagasso, but conceded 4 and therefore lost the match. Breum scored twice, while Stassin and Baallal were also on target for the French side.

Real Madrid-Fiorentina 2-2

Fiorentina produced an outstanding performance against Real Madrid. Grosso's men went 2-0 down because of goals from Endrick and Ciria, but reacted well and fought back to make it 2-2.

La Viola's two strikers got the goals: Piccoli rifled one in at the near post from a Jimenez assist late in the first half, and Kean headed home a fine cross from Fagioli after the break.

Frosinone-Benevento 2-2

Frosinone struggled badly against Benevento and only found the equaliser late on. Lamesta and Prisco turned around Calò's opener, but Jacopo Gelli netted the 2-2 at the end.

Leicester-Genoa 0-1

Genoa wrapped up a packed day of friendlies in the evening by beating Leicester 1-0, after the English side had been relegated to League One last summer. The decisive goal came from Colombo, a player looking to take another step forward this year.
