Chelsea 2-0 Ac Milan August 4, 2013

Tweet

Chelsea have four wins in four this preseason, scoring fifteen goals to the opposition's two, but, as Jose Mourinho has pointed out, those wins are worth a grand total of zero points, so we shouldn't get too carried away even after dispatching teams like Inter Milan without a problem. It's still cool that we could do a Milanese double, though -- AC Milan are the other half of our next friendly, which is taking place in New York on Sunday.
