Chelsea y Real Madrid will be measured this Tuesday, August 6th in a friendly match within the Soccer Champions Toura pre-season tournament held in the United States. This match is one of the most anticipated in this competition since both clubs generate a lot of expectations.
Chelsea are looking to prepare in the best way possible for the new Premier League season, in addition to their UEFA Europa League campaign. Meanwhile, Real Madrid are finishing their pre-season preparations for the European Super Cup against Atalanta in Warsaw on 15 August.
How does Chelsea approach this match?
Following Mauricio Pochettino’s departure from Chelsea last June, the team hired Enzo Maresca as their new coach. The experienced Italian has led the English team to just one win this preseason, which was against América of Mexico by a score of 3-0.
The Blues began their preparation for the new season with a 2-2 draw against Wrexham, before suffering a painful 4-1 defeat against Celtic. So far, they only have this match against Real Madrid left, and one more against Inter next Sunday to start the new 2024-25 Premier League season against Manchester City on August 18.
How does Real Madrid approach this match?
Real Madrid come into this game after playing two games this preseason against Milan and Barcelona, where both ended in defeat by score of 1-0 and 2-1, respectively. The white team still does not have a complete squad to face these matches and will be looking for its first victory of preseason against Chelsea.
This will be the last friendly match for Los Merengues, as they will play the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta in Poland on 15 August. Their debut in the new Liga season will be on 18 August against Mallorca.
