However, Usain Bolt closed the gap when he scored a goal for the World XI.
The Olympic champion sprinter scored shortly before half time, making it 2-1.
The game at Stamford Bridge was officially started by Hollywood star Tom Hanks, who has been promoting his film Toy Story 4 in London.
Before blowing the whistle, Hanks told presenter Dermot O’Leary he was an Aston Villa fan, adding: “I will be back for the FA Cup next year… don’t laugh.
“If they need me to whack in a couple of corner kicks I’ll be standing by.”
