Madrid lose lightning-struck Clásico
Having been beaten 1-0 by AC Milan in Chicago three days earlier, Madrid lost 2-1 to Barça in New Jersey on Saturday, in a weather-hit game. The fourth Clásico to be played on American soil, the clash was halted for around an hour when a lightning storm passed over MetLife Stadium.
Nico Paz scored Madrid’s consolation against Barça, who triumphed through a brace by Pau Víctor.
In the US, Los Blancos are without a number of big-name players who remain on holiday after representing their countries at major tournaments over the summer. Madrid’s absent stars includes England midfielder Jude Bellingham and the club’s new superstar signing, France striker Kylian Mbappé.
Chelsea seeking second summer win
Chelsea, who in June named Enzo Maresca as head coach in place of Mauricio Pochettino, have played four US friendlies over the past 10 days. The Blues drew 2-2 with Wrexham in Santa Clara on July 24, before a 4-1 defeat to Celtic in Notre Dame two days later.
The West Londoners earned their first preseason win when they beat Mexicans Club América in Atlanta on July 31, then went down 4-2 to Manchester City in Columbus on Saturday. Like Madrid, Chelsea have travelled to the US without a number of first-team fixtures, having given extended breaks to players such as England’s Euro 2024 final goalscorer, Cole Palmer.

Real Madrid vs Chelsea: prediction
These summer friendlies are extremely hard to predict, given that teams are without major stars and coaches tend to disrupt the flow of the game by making countless second-half substitutions. We’ll go for a maiden preseason win for the Spanish and European champions, though. Prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Chelsea.
