Pre-Match Information
The most talked-about issue of Real Madrid in the summer of 2024 is the unveiling of two new signings, Kylian Mbappe and Endrick. Meanwhile, other matters at the club remain "quiet" as they have in previous summers, particularly their friendly matches.
Under the guidance of coach Carlo Ancelotti, Real Madrid has lost two matches: 0-1 against AC Milan and 1-2 against Barcelona. The only goal was scored by young player Nico Paz, not any of the stars.
However, there is no indication that Ancelotti is worried, as the team will face Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup in less than 10 days. They also have a match against Chelsea to prepare for, but Mbappe has not yet returned.
The French forward, along with several other stars, has just returned from a break and will need a few days to regain their physical condition.
In the meantime, Chelsea has begun a new era under coach Enzo Maresca and has played several friendly matches. Their fifth friendly match is against Real Madrid.
After four matches, Chelsea has won one, drawn one, and lost two. Although they have not yet fielded their strongest lineup, there are already concerns for Maresca about the team's chances of success at Stamford Bridge.
Following their match against Real Madrid, Chelsea will play another friendly match against Inter Milan before entering the new season with a match against Man City, whom they lost 2-4 in a friendly match on August 4.
