Real Madrid has won the Guinness International Champions Cup after beating Chelsea 3 goals to 1 in the final at Sun Life Stadium in Miami on Wednesday night, Goal.com reports.

Marcelo scored the first goal after fifteen minutes of play following a decent start from the Spanish side, only for Ramires to equalise within moments with a cool finish.

Ronaldo soon took matters into his own hand, blasting an exquisite free kick home after 30 minutes.

Chelsea though, began to shake off its shackles as the half drew to a close. Frank Lampard turned superbly into a 20-yard drive, which was parried with equal skill by Casillas, who was quick to the rebound ahead of Romelu Lukaku.

The Blues carried that momentum into the second half, with Eden Hazard nearly drawing them level after a stunning run past two players and a stinging shot that forced the very best out of Casillas.

Kevin De Bruyne was next to try his luck, getting his head to a corner at the near post, but Casillas was once again well positioned to tip the ball over the bar.

However, Chelsea could not make the most of its positivity, and with 56 minutes on the clock, was made to pay at the other end when a defensive mix-up allowed Ronaldo to steal in unmarked to head home an Isco cross from six yards out.

The goal took a lot of the sting out of proceedings, and Madrid, in the driving seat began to slow play down in a bid to stifle hopes of a Chelsea comeback.

Mourinho’s men failed to seriously test Casillas in the time that remained, and in fact, it was Carlo Ancelotti’s men who could have added further gloss to the scoreline, with Angel Di Maria coming close with a pair of volleys, before having a late goal disallowed.

AC Milan had earlier bagged the third place in the friendly tournament with a 2-0 triumph over the Los Angeles Galaxy thanks to first-half goals from Mario Balotelli and M’Baye Niang.
