In a pre-season friendly played yesterday (August 6) in Charlotte, North Carolina, Real Madrid defeated Chelsea 2-1. The highlight of the match was Vinícius Júnior, who provided a stunning trivela assist for Brahim Díaz’s goal. Lucas Vázquez also scored for the Spaniards, while Madueke scored the lone goal for the English side. Endrick was rested and did not participate in the game.
Carlo Ancelotti chose not to field Endrick and Arda Güler, who had been starters in previous friendlies. Vini Jr., Rodrygo, and Militão started, and Real Madrid dominated the game from the outset. In the 19th minute of the first half, Lucas Vázquez opened the scoring with a shot from the right flank that deflected off a defender and fooled the goalkeeper. Shortly after, Vini Jr. made a beautiful trivela pass, setting up Brahim Díaz for the second goal. Chelsea pulled one back with a header from Madueke, following a cross from Enzo Fernández.
This was Real Madrid’s first win of the pre-season, following defeats to Milan (1-0) and Barcelona (2-1). The team’s next challenge will be their official season opener against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup on August 14.
Chelsea, meanwhile, is in its fifth pre-season match. Previously, they drew with Wrexham (2-2), lost to Celtic (4-1), won against América-MEX (3-0), and were defeated by Manchester City (4-2). The Blues’ next fixture is against Inter Milan this Sunday.
With this victory, Real Madrid showed signs of progress and adaptation to Ancelotti’s new tactics, while Chelsea continues to adjust their squad for the upcoming season. BBscore, your ultimate tool for tracking and improving performance.
