well hello to you from a city that's always a joy to visit vancouver we're at bc place for this game
my name is derek ray and with me in the commentary position is the former arsenal fullback lee dixon
and we have more live action from the pre-season third group stage for you to look forward to it
is chelsea taking on real madrid yeah both teams looking to finish the group strongly
and make a positive start to their seasons you have to say it's been a great tournament up to
now the fans have been out in force getting to meet the players getting their shirts signed
it's on a much bigger scale it was back when i used to play in pre-season games that's for sure
and this is how it looks for chelsea andreas christensen plays alongside
thiago silva in central defence and as for the attack well it
has a bold look about it with three forwards listed from the beginning
and here's the starting 11 for real madrid
tebow courtois is the keeper of choice federal mendy plays with carvajal as full backs
tony course starts with casemiro in the center of the pitch and the lead striker today is karim
benzema thank you enjoy the game
and the contest begins
chill well now with giorgino conte mount and chelsea have given us away
patient build up at the moment well that's how to break the spirit of the attacker
it's been pretty well impossible to escape all the news stories surrounding him ahead
of today's match up against this old club and that is never easy for a footballer a
mixture of emotions lee well derek it could be a hugely emotional day that's for sure
seeing old friends teammates wives families etc but all that has to be acknowledged and
then forgotten about instantly get on with the game in hand do your job perform for your team
and space to cross it and that's gone out of play for what will be a goal kick
hakimi good pressure high up the pitch mendy superbly red and executed
and space for them here on the flank teammates available what's an important piece of defending
played into the center of the box
and players waiting at the far post
aspiely now with akimi
kante well read to put an end to that attack
akimi now with habits and stuffing out the danger
really inventive stuff from real here
chilwell giorginio angolo conte good reading of the game to win possession back
well no stopping him
really a very poor ball
thiago silva not given a moment's piece untidy in possession
and he clears the danger
and chelsea get the decision from the referee kante
holland can they take advantage
opportunity and a goal that will do it they've been pushing for it and now they've been rewarded
well here's the replay it's a gorgeous ball over the top
and to be honest with you he's not going to get an easier goal than that a simple tapping
slightly different vantage point in terms of the goal that was scored
well it can be difficult being a manager at times none more so than now
action underway once more a wake-up call for the real players maybe can they find a response now
tony cross
federico valverde mrs cross
casimiro
ramos and now rodrigo cavacao
teammates in the middle a no-nonsense defensive clearance
well just one minute of time added on for stoppages here
and kai havas given away by chelsea
so the whistle then we're at the halfway stage in this match
mulcai habits very difficult to contain in the first half
lee give us an assessment of his performance well derek he certainly was a good 45 minutes
from the lad obviously got the goal to give him the lead but he's looked very very lively
as so the ball rolling again second half underway will real be able to up the game
pressure exerted but he keeps the ball karim benzema tony course mandy has it ramos
now with benzema showing patience as well as persistence in the build-up
mindy
here's marco ascencio well off the bar and out of play close yeah close indeed
technique just leaning back a little bit that's why it goes so high there has been
plenty of limbering up from substitutes and now both sides will make personnel switches
well chelsea have struggled with possession of it but to their credit they've been
absolutely blistering on the counter attack they just sit back
hit you on the break and it's really working for this team well he really read that brilliantly
good tackle and a throw in it's going to be well real madrid are going to make the change now
and now rodrigo
well transfer speculation is all part of football and there's been quite a lot
of speculation on this front but the deal has now been confirmed lee well derek the fans are
really going to love him he's a top player a real pro in fact he's a manager's dream
and chelsea looking dangerous they all did well to regain control of the ball
federico valverde
not to be advised giving the ball a wave there
casimiro not a good pass
georginio
he's in with a chance
teammate available oh tremendous block
the ball with luka modric
given away by real madrid
inside the last quarter of an hour hold on masterful piece of foiling
duro and valverde modric how can they turn one of these attacks into a goal
superbly read and executed keeping possession of the ball with authority valverde
now will the cross work out for them the fist of the goalkeeper
a corner then and with time running out they've got to ask questions
and they're making a change played into the center of the box well still an issue here
and now here's aiden azar went in strongly decisively
georginio now with habits
and i must say that was a very promising attack the alarm bells were sounding
well that's how to do it inside your own penalty area
full time then the referees whistle and chelsea victorious that's the big headline lee
just nudging ahead when they did us won it for him in the end really tight affair that was
well one thing we often say about kai habits is that he's so very hard to silence
and that was the case in this game lee your assessment well he's always a danger isn't he
no more so when he grabbed that goal he never disappoints me when i watch him he's just too good
