Chelsea vs Real Madrid: Live score, team news and updates

Four down, one to go...

It feels like an age since Chelsea's first match in pre-season.

It was against Wrexham two weeks ago, and it was a belter. They drew 2-2 and there was even a scrap.

Overall, Chelsea have played four times in the US this summer, winning only one of those matches.

And it was against Club America...

I know pre-season doesn't mean too much, but it is always a good indication of what to expect from a team.

Enzo Maresca will want to finish in style, but it's a tough ask to beat a Real Madrid side stacked with talent.

Final stateside battle

What a way to finish pre-season in the US!

We have seen various big battles over the course of the last couple of weeks, as the biggest teams in the world hash it out as they prepare for the new season.

Have they saved the best until last? I think they may have.

Chelsea's final test of their first tour under Enzo Maresca is perhaps their toughest yet. The Blues face the European Champions, Real Madrid.

It's going to be electric, and we only have to wait two more hours until they take to the pitch in North Carolina.

Don't worry, we will give you lots of build-up within that time, so stay tuned.

Let's get this show on the road.
