Chelsea secured a morale-boosting pre-season victory as they decisively beat AC Milan in Jakarta, Indonesia. The match showcased the Blues' dominance, with the decisive goal arriving in first-half stoppage time courtesy of Joao Pedro. Despite missing two early opportunities, Pedro rose to the occasion, heading in a corner from just six yards out.
The Brazilian striker promptly doubled Chelsea's lead just seconds after the break, capitalizing on a cross from Pedro Neto. Moises Caicedo added a third goal four minutes later, showcasing a fine finish to wrap up the winning margin. This resounding win came after a series of disappointing friendly defeats, including matches against Tottenham and Juventus.
With new manager Xabi Alonso at the helm, Chelsea's performance under his guidance proved to be a marked improvement, trouncing a lackluster Milan side coached by former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim. Chelsea's attacking duo, Geovany Quenda and Nicolas Jackson, also hit woodwork, further highlighting their striking prowess.
The team wraps up their pre-season tour against Malaysian champions Johor Darul Ta’zim on Sunday at 13:00 BST, setting the stage for their 2026-27 Premier League opener against Fulham on August 24.
