In a pre-season friendly played on August 8, 2026, Chelsea secured a convincing 3-0 victory over AC Milan. The match, held at a neutral venue, saw Chelsea bounce back from earlier pre-season setbacks with a dominant performance.
Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo opened the scoring with a long-range strike, and Brazilian forward Joao Pedro added two more goals to complete a brace. The win highlighted Chelsea's attacking prowess under manager Xabi Alonso, who made several tactical adjustments that paid off.
AC Milan struggled to contain Chelsea's fluid attack and rarely threatened the opposition goal. The result serves as a positive sign for Chelsea as they continue their preparations for the upcoming season, while Milan will look to address defensive issues before competitive fixtures begin.
