ESPN's ongoing coverage of the ICC, bringing you the champions of Europe, Real Madrid,
of course in white, against the five-time champions of England, Chelsea.
Lucas Vazquez, Asensio, oh, Matic's header, forcing Begovic into emergency action.
He did, I mean, I think when you, if you're going to be doing that, you've got to really
try and chest it back to the goalkeeper. Asensio, it's Casemiro.
So many new managers, including this fellow. Traore to Pedro, at pace, maybe at too much pace.
I think that is the trouble with Pedro at times, and you know, I believe when Chelsea signed him,
he wasn't a player Mourinho particularly wanted, he wasn't on. Asensio for Marcelo,
may open up on what should be his weaker foot, but he scored, and that doesn't happen too often.
No, and neither of those been allowed to just drift in so easy onto his right foot, and initially
the way Begovic made a meal of this, I thought it's got to have taken a deflection, but I don't
think it did. Yeah, it took a little nicket off Oscar actually, and it just completely
wrong-footed Azmir Begovic. This little faintest of touches just there off the thigh.
Going into Casemiro, and then fouling him. Again on that right foot, possibly with an assist this time.
There's Asensio coming in. Yeah, it was a lovely ball floated to the back post, John,
and Asensio's not trying to score. Vasquez fouled by Gary Cahill, and again this is going to involve
a chat with the referee. Yeah, a lot of Real Madrid's good works coming down this left-hand
side at the moment. That's a rice challenge. Real Madrid's heavy artillery, Varane and Nacho
poised inside the box. It is Asensio. It was a great delivery, and a super save. Begovic
leaping to turn that aside, and now to Marcelo. Fortune deserted him that time.
What's not to like about Bayern and Real Madrid at MetLife? Marcelo, he's having quite a game so far.
He's scored again, and even he looks slightly surprised. Well, that's what the supporters
have come to see. It's got them off their seat. They're applauding. Lovely little one-twos,
and I'm talking from a Real Madrid perspective, because it's pretty shocking from Chelsea.
Giving the ball away here, Marcelo wins the tackle. Little one-two, round Oscar, like he's not there,
and then Gary Cahill and Nemanja Matic looked as if they were towing a caravan there,
because they just couldn't get in, and Marcelo can't believe that he's... It is Casemiro. He did.
Kind of, was it, I mean statistically and consistent, the goals that for that amount of
incredible. Eleven times European champions, turning on the style in Michigan, for the most
part anyway. It was just nice to see a free kick that wasn't. Asensio, Pedro tackling back and
earning himself a yellow card. Yeah, I think it's safe to say, John, at the moment, just gone half
an hour. Chelsea are not at the races in this game. And Real Madrid, consequently, are galloping away.
Once more, poor defending, but Chelsea reprieved by the offside flag.
It's either intentional to hold the line, or they just got lucky there, and
and then gather possession, which they've done pretty well in this game. Marcelo, brilliant.
Mariano, what a goal! What a fabulous hit for the youngster with the world at his feet.
Well, sit back, enjoy, infuse, and again, it's the left side. We talked about it, and again,
it was Marcelo with a lovely little flick. At the Michigan Stadium, and Marcelo has stamped his mark
across this first period, leaving some Chelsea players holding their heads in their hands.
