The Blues were excellent against AC Milan, attacking from the off and racing into a two-goal lead inside eight minutes.

There was plenty more excitement to come. Cole Palmer went very close with two free-kicks, the visitors had a man sent off, and Liam Delap came off the bench to bag a brace and complete a resounding 4-1 victory.

In addition to the VisitMalta Weekender trophy secured, the Club World Cup and Conference League were paraded around the Bridge as the Blues head into the new campaign in high spirits. Here are the best pictures from a very successful afternoon indeed!
