Stamford Bridge, August 8, 2025 — Chelsea made a strong statement in their opening pre-season match, defeating Bayer Leverkusen 2–0 at Stamford Bridge. The victory served as a confident return to action ahead of the upcoming campaign.
The breakthrough came early when Brazilian teen Estêvão, making his Chelsea debut, capitalised on a rebound and found the net just 18 minutes into the game. His composed finish delighted the home crowd and set the tone for the evening.
Chelsea maintained control throughout the match, combining disciplined defense with creative build-up play. Goalkeeper Filip Jørgensen was barely troubled, making just one routine save before the break.
In the closing moments, João Pedro capped off the win with a precise strike from the edge of the box—delivered with the final kick of the game. His late goal ensured a commanding result and added polish to an encouraging performance.
