Reigning Champions League and La Liga champions Real Madrid concluded a pre-season US tour on Tuesday with a 2-1 triumph over Chelsea. Spanish midfielder Dani Ceballos knocked a right-footed shot into the bottom left corner in the 19th minute to give Real a 1-0 lead.
Brahim Diaz fired in a left-footed kick from a difficult angle in the 27th minute to double the Spanish side's lead, sliding the ball from the left just inside the backline and across the empty goal into the far right side.
"Of course I am happy to make my first start at this club. For me I love to win and I hate to lose so I am not happy with the result. I am happy to get more minutes and I am looking forward to getting to know everyone better on and off the pitch, get home and breathe a bit," said Jorgensen, who made his first start for Chelsea.
"I think they are doing good but we have to work on some things. Also me, I need to be high when the defensive line is so high, but we can work on that as we have two weeks until the Premier League starts so we will work on that," he added.
