Atletico Madrid will face Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan in the International Champions Cup this summer and believe it will be the "perfect test" ahead of their 2018-19 campaign.


After first facing Arsenal in Singapore on July 26 -- a replay of their looming Europa League semifinals clash -- Atletico will meet PSG there four days later before returning home for a final game at home against Inter on Aug 12.


"This will be the second time we compete in the International Champions Cup," the club said in a statement. "In 2016, we faced Tottenham in Melbourne and Melbourne Victory in Geelong. This will be the ninth edition of the International Champions Cup and it'll be a perfect test for our team during the 2018-19 preseason."

Should they progress past Arsenal and then win the Europa League this season, Atletico will also take part in the 2018 UEFA Supercup in Tallinn, Estonia, on Aug. 15, with the La Liga season expected to start on the weekend of Aug. 18.

Last weekend's 3-0 victory at home to Levante confirmed that Diego Simeone's side will return to the Champions League next season for a sixth successive year.
