Bayern Munich captain Philipp Lahm sees no reason to be concerned by the team's preseason hiccups.
Bayern lost 8-6 to AC Milan on penalties in Chicago on Wednesday night and it took a late equaliser from the penalty spot by Franck Ribery to make it 3-3 in normal time and force a penalty shootout in the International Champions Cup.
However, Lahm, 32, didn't see any reason to be worried: "We were too open in some situations and didn't always make the right decisions upfront, but that is entirely normal. We are amidst our preseason, not everything can go well."
Lahm has had an enjoyable week in America, throwing the first pitch at Wrigley Field on Thursday when the Chicago Cubs hosted the Chicago White Sox.

"You're better than Ronaldo," Cubs catcher Miguel Montero commented on Lahm's effort. The Real Madrid star threw the opening pitch at Dodger Stadium in 2013.
Meanwhile, Lahm's teammates Xabi Alonso, Javi Martinez and Franck Ribery had fun with NBA players Harrison Barnes of the Dallas Mavericks and DeMarcus Cousins from the Sacramento Kings and U.S. Olympic Men's Basketball Team.

Holger Badstuber, 27, made his comeback from a broken ankle in the game at Soldier Field, but the centre-back gifted M'Baye Niang a chance to give the Rossoneri the lead in the 23rd minute when took a stumble in the box.
