Chelsea suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to Juventus in a pre-season friendly played in Hong Kong, with the Italian side securing victory thanks to a spectacular strike from winger Edon Zhegrova. The result offers an early gauge of both clubs' pre-season form ahead of the upcoming campaign, though friendlies of this kind are typically used more for fitness building and squad rotation than for results.

Highlights of the match showed Zhegrova's winning goal as the standout moment of the contest. The fixture also marked the return of Chelsea winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, who featured after a 20-month absence, according to the accompanying match report. Full video coverage of the highlights was made available to UK audiences.
