Key match actions
Chelsea were the better side in the opening exchanges, but Real Madrid scored the opener. The Blues’ defence was in sixes and sevens and Lucas Vazquez capitalised, finishing into a vacated goal.
Brahim Diaz made it two in the 27th minute, and a sumptuous Vinicius delivery released him behind the Chelsea backline. He rounded Filip Jorgensen and finished with aplomb.
Chelsea were much improved in the second half and got themselves back into the game thanks to a Noni Madueke strike. The former PSV winger rose highest at the back post, heading Enzo Fernandez’s delivery past Andriy Lunin.
Inter is next on the docket for Chelsea in their pre-season friendly roster, while Real Madrid have the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta next.
