In Chelsea's 4:2 defeat in preseason friendly against Manchester City, three players stood out with impressive performances that caught the eye. Romeo Lavia, Noni Madueke, and Christopher Nkunku showcased their skills and determination, giving fans a glimpse of what's to come in the upcoming season.
Romeo Lavia, who missed most of last season due to injury, made a stunning return with a brilliant performance in the midfield. He won a penalty in the previous game against Club America and followed it up with an assist against City. Lavia's tenacity and vision on the field make him a strong contender for a starting spot in Enzo Maresca's first team.
Noni Madueke, who came on as a substitute, made an instant impact by setting up Chelsea's first goal and scoring another. Although his efforts weren't enough to secure a draw, Madueke's pace and skill on the wing left City's defenders struggling to keep up.
Christopher Nkunku, Chelsea's energetic forward, had several opportunities to score and was constantly demanding the ball. His tireless work rate and clever movements caused problems for City's defense, making him a handful to deal with.
While the match ended in a 4-2 defeat for Chelsea, the performances of Lavia, Madueke, and Nkunku offer plenty of encouragement for the upcoming season.
