  • Chelsea, managed by Xabi Alonso, defeated Milan 3-0 in Jakarta, Indonesia.
  • Joao Pedro scored twice and Moises Caicedo added another goal for Chelsea.
  • This victory improves Chelsea's preseason performance after recent losses to Juventus and Tottenham.

Xabi Alonso's Chelsea is showing signs of improvement, securing a convincing 3-0 victory over AC Milan in a preseason friendly held at Jakarta's Bung Karno Stadium.

The London club's goals came from Brazilian forward Joao Pedro, who netted a brace, and Ecuadorian midfielder Moises Caicedo. This win marks Chelsea's second victory of the preseason, offering a much-needed boost after suffering defeats to Juventus and Tottenham in their previous matches.

Chelsea dominated the match against Milan, who failed to register a single shot on target throughout the game. This performance contrasts with their earlier preseason outings, suggesting Alonso's tactics are beginning to take hold. The team's next challenge is against Malaysian side Johor DT on Sunday, followed by a match against Real Sociedad on August 15.

Meanwhile, Milan, managed by Rúben Amorim, has had a mixed preseason, with draws against Celtic and Inter Milan. Their final summer test will be against Manchester United on August 15, a fixture that holds personal significance for Amorim.
