Chelsea played out a 1-1 draw with Inter Milan in their final pre-season game of the summer.

Marcus Thuram opened the scoring for the visitors at Stamford Bridge, but Lesley Ugochukwu’s 90th minute equaliser levelled ensured Chelsea didn’t end the pre-season with another defeat.

Chelsea have a new manager in Enzo Maresca, and have signed a couple of players.

However, it seems Chelsea fans remain dissatisfied with the team’s defence, which has been a problem all summer.

Chelsea fans chanted the name of the departed Thiago Silva in the first-half, after the Blues had gone 1-0 down.

Thiago Silva himself clearly appreciated the gesture from the Chelsea fans, replying to an Instagram post from a Chelsea fan account that reported on the singing.

He simply replied: ‘I love you’.
