#6 Atletico Madrid vs Inter Milan (12th August)
This may not seem as high profile a clash as it appears on paper, but this does hold significance. The Nerazzurris are back in the Champions League reckoning after a gap of five years and have been thoughtfully preparing for the same with a couple of good signings.

Stefan De Vrij finalised his move shortly after the conclusion of last season, but the marquee arrival has to be that of Radja Nainggolan, who was signed from league rivals AS Roma last week. The 30-year old was also left out of Belgium's World Cup squad and is hence expected to feature in all three of Inter's pre-season games.
A match against the reigning Europa League champions in their own backyard would definitely be an early preview of what's in store for them in their European return. However, Atletico would be playing Real Madrid in the UEFA Supercup just 4 days after this clash, so questions remain over whether Simeone opts to approach this game at full strength.
And as a matter of fact, this is also the final fixture of the ICC 2018.
