Chelsea vs Real Madrid – Match Preview

It’s game two of Chelsea’s pre-season tour as they travel to Michigan in preparation to face European champions Real Madrid in front of potentially record-breaking crowds.

Real Madrid will hope to have a change in fortune this weekend as their game against Paris Saint-Germain ended 3-1 to the French Champions. Chelsea on the other hand will be hoping that they can maintain their form against the Galacticos after a hard fought victory against Liverpool last time out.

Antonio Conte will be facing a former team-mate in Zinedine Zidane but their previous time at Juventus will not get in the way of the game as both managers will be hoping that their side can get the 3 points and push for International Challenge cup glory.
