Bayern Munich kicked off their Champions League campaign with a convincing 3-1 win over Chelsea at the Allianz Arena. Harry Kane was the star of the show, scoring twice in the match, including a penalty kick. The German giants took the lead through a Trevoh Chalobah own goal in the 20th minute, which was followed by Kane’s penalty kick seven minutes later. Cole Palmer pulled one back for Chelsea with a fine strike into the top corner just before the half-hour mark.
However, Bayern regained their two-goal cushion early in the second half when Kane scored his second goal, capitalizing on a sloppy pass from Chelsea’s Malo Gusto. This win marked a confident start to Bayern’s Champions League campaign, with Kane already scoring 10 goals in five appearances for the club this season. The England captain has now netted 21 Champions League goals for Bayern, showcasing his impressive form.
Chelsea, on the other hand, struggled to cope with Bayern’s experience in the Champions League. Despite creating some chances, they were unable to capitalize on them, and their mistakes were ruthlessly punished by the German side. The Blues will look to regroup and bounce back from this defeat as they continue their Champions League journey.
