Chelsea aims to conclude their first pre-season tour under new manager Enzo Maresca with a strong performance against Real Madrid.
After a 4-2 defeat by Manchester City, Chelsea has managed only one win in their four pre-season friendlies, highlighting early challenges in Maresca’s tenure. With the Premier League opener against City just over a week away, tonight’s game offers valuable preparation time for the squad, followed by another friendly against Inter Milan.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid is also under time pressure, as this match serves as their final preparation before the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta.
### Chelsea Starting XI:
Guiu, Sterling, Nkunku, Madueke, Lavia, Fernandez, Gusto, Colwill, Badiashile, James, Jörgensen
### Real Madrid Starting XI:
Diaz, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Modric, Martin, Ceballos, Garcia, Vazquez, Militao, Rüdiger, Courtois
