It's going to be one of the most interesting pre-season friendlies.

I honestly don't know who will win, but I have a feeling Chelsea are gonna win 2-0 or 2-1.

I WANT Madrid to win, not just because they're my favorite team, but because I want Ronaldo, Ramos, Pepe, Alonso, and Casillas to show him that they DO care about the team more than anything else, and that all that Mourinho said was just a false assumption and that he treated them wrong. I really hope this happens from the bottom of my heart, as a Madridista.

But oh well, it's just a preseason match. No biggie. :P

Chelsea will win ;)

Ancelotti also has a lot to prove to Roman. The way he was fired was disgraceful and I bet he wants some sort of revenge. It will be an exciting match to see indeed considering the connections between the two managers with both clubs.

Real are going to get DESTROYED!!

^ +1 :)

@Ven

But I doubt the outcome of the match means much at all to Perez or Roman. It's more Mourinho vs. Ancelotti more than anything. And sort of Mourinho vs. Real Madrid players. So I doubt Roman really cares about the outcome. He doesn't seem like the type of guy to lose any sleep if his team lose a preseason friendly to his previous employee that he sacked.

True. Also, why does everyone think Chelsea will completely destroy Madrid? Winning by a tight margin is possible but Madrid are the ones with a better chance and more experienced players. In the words of Mourinho:

"This is not a Chelsea team to win tomorrow ... this is a team of kids ... this is a team where the best years are yet to come."

Hopefully I'm wrong and we do continue our awesome winning streak but I see Madrid with the better chance in this match.

@Ven

Lol, that's because there are a lot of Madrid haters here in this forum.

But speaking from my perspective, Chelsea's young squad, when they fulfill their potential, can be even better than the Madrid squad we have today. But that being said, then we'll also have an experienced duo of Ramos and Ronaldo leading the lines and Ozil, Benzema, Isco, Varane, Marcelo and co. in their prime.

Tough competition indeed. I hope the match is entertaining, no matter who wins. :)

if we start with our main squad and no weird substitutions >> we have a great chance to win ! otherwise mourinho will do whetever possible to win to prove to himself that madrid is be nothing without him ! hala madrid

I hope Madrid win, because if they lose, you know damn well that the Bale-stalking from Perez is only going to get worse. :P

@Lodatz

Damn, I forgot about that. Losing to Chelsea will only give Perez more f**king reason to buy Bale. Dammit.

Who will be watching the match ?

I WILL> ^^

Great! :) Will you be on TalkRoom too?

What time is it, again?

@Alex

Maybe, depends on on if I can switch tabs between FootyRoom and FirstRow fast enough. :/

@Lodatz the match will start in 15 mins

@Dynastian you can split the tabs ;)

@Alex

Alrighty then. :)

I might be too into the match, so I apologize in advance for blasphemous comments on Chelsea. xD

Fantastic first half. What a Free-Kick golazo from Ronaldo. Amazing.
Beautiful goal from Ramires too.

For those who aren't keeping in touch with the game,
Marcelo - 14'
Ramires - 17'
C. Ronaldo - 31'

Score - Real Madrid 2-1 Chelsea (HALFTIME)

Does a friendly count in head to head? O:)
