🔗 Share this article Harry Kane Fires Two Goals to Ruin Chelsea's European Reappearance Video title: The striker's double propels Bayern to triumph against Chelsea Key Points England forward the captain bags two, and the winger impresses for the hosts Cole Palmer finds the net on rejoining to the first XI and sees a late goal disallowed Error-prone the visitors outsmarted by the German side as errors at the back cause scores Three Lions attacker Kane capitalized on mistake-ridden the Blues to score twice in Bayern's 3-1 European victory. The 32-year-old, in his thirties, was awarded and netted a PK before sealing the result in the after the break with a precise strike after a Malo Gusto mistake. Earlier, Chelsea defender Trevoh Chalobah turned in an self-inflicted score, while a comeback the playmaker drilled a shot into the upper netting to pull one back on his hundredth appearance in all games for the Blues. There were warnings in the final 45 as Michael Olise and the striker missed clear opportunities when the English side - making a comeback in the UCL for the initial occasion since the 2022-23 season - were chasing an leveler. In the end, the defender's wayward pass caused Harry's swerved finish in the second half minute that decided the match as a competitive affair. It was one of a host of defensive mistakes, including the away side losing focus at a drop-ball situation before the defender's own goal and engine-room player Caicedo bringing Kane down in the box. The Londoners wasted a bright start, failing to take early opportunities through Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez, and Palmer also had a second-half goal chalked off for a narrow offside. The Blues were finally outmaneuvered by a more experienced and experienced Bayern side, who have secured their initial UCL match for the 22nd year in a row. Munich keeper the veteran, nearing forty, played his 151st match in the UCL. Conversely, Chelsea's whole 24-man had made only 117 appearances at this stage before kick-off.

Chelsea next host the Eagles in the Champions League, which could see Jose Mourinho come back to Stamford Bridge, with the Portuguese expected to be hired manager this week. Chelsea Breakdown: The Team Not Terrible but Need to Improve The Blues have to take insights from this performance at the Munich's stadium. They were on par to Bayern in the opening 45 but were a score down after a couple blunders despite brilliance from Cole. Bayern manager Vincent Kompany made adjustments at the interval, having likely spotted the Chelsea boss tried to use his approach from the CWC final win over PSG, and the contest swung back in the Bavarian side's favor. Harry scored an all-important additional goal in the second half minute, but several opportunities before then were a indication the coach should have used his strong bench sooner. Estevao Willian, the winger, Gittens and a number of other attackers may have swung the game. Garnacho and the midfielder came on immediately after Harry's additional goal but it was too late. The youngster also came on and set up Palmer's eighty-eighth-minute goal, which was invalidated by a narrow offside call after a VAR check. In contrast, the hosts had only a handful senior players on their bench. They went down to their least experienced option at defense after an injury to Stanisic early in the second half. It must also be said that this was not a catastrophic performance and many Chelsea players showed an aptitude to play at this tier. Certainly, no-one more so than the star. Bayern Review: Harry and Michael Brilliant Harry Kane is becoming part of Munich history with his remarkable attacking numbers. National team captain has double-digit goals in six matches in every game at the beginning of the new campaign. This has taken him to a staggering 95 goals in 102 games since transferring to the German club, with a extra twenty-nine assists also to his name. Prior to kick-off, much of the talk in the national media was also around a adjustment in his play. Harry has more and more dropped into more withdrawn positions to play in speedier runners from wing positions, adding another dimension to his game. Naturally, it's a duty the striker has often performed with both his previous team the London club and the Three Lions. However he, along with one-time Eagles winger Michael, have shown themselves capable of leading this club to glory in the Champions League. What's Next for Both Teams? The Blues: They travel to Old Trafford to play the Red Devils in the Premier League on this Saturday evening. The German side: The manager's side face a trip to play Hoffenheim in the domestic competition on the identical day.
