Lesley Ugochukwu scored a dramatic last-minute equaliser as Chelsea's pre-season finale under new manager Enzo Maresca ended in a 1-1 draw against Inter Milan. The match, held in sweltering conditions, was a final workout before the Premier League season kicks off. Inter Milan took the lead in the 26th minute when Thuram finished a pass from Joaquin Correa with a powerful strike into the top corner. Chelsea, however, responded strongly, with Marc Cucurella and Cole Palmer making notable contributions. Cucurella, recently celebrated for his role in Spain's Euro 2024 win, and Palmer, who played a key role in England's runner-up finish, showcased their abilities.
