Chelsea vs. Real Madrid: Preview, television and streaming, squad info, and more

Does Jose Mourinho taking on Real Madrid sound enticing following his fallout with the Spanish giants last season? How about Carlo Ancelotti taking on Chelsea for the second preseason in a row? If those two items don't get you going, the fact that we're in a "final" of sorts against arguably the biggest side in Europe should get you interested, assuming of course you have any interest in the sport.

Chelsea have two preseason games left before they return to England to start playing games that actually count, and they'll play the first of those tomorrow against the best opponent they'll be facing this preseason. Even in a meaningless game, Real Madrid ought to offer a tough test for the Blues with several high quality opponents on the early schedule for the Blues.
