In a fiercely competitive football encounter at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 3-1 win against Chelsea. The match, attended by 75,000 spectators, was reminiscent of a knockout round-like encounter, filled with tension and excitement.
The Bavarians started the match with Harry Kane leading the charge, and it was Kane who opened the scoring. After a deflection off Chelsea's Malo Gusto in the box, Kane found the back of the net, marking his tenth goal of the season.
Chelsea responded swiftly, with Josip Stanisic having to leave the field injured during the match. However, Chelsea managed to score one goal through Cole Palmer, setting the stage for a thrilling second half.
Bayern Munich's quick response to Chelsea's goal added to the tension, with Vincent Kompany's team showing their resilience. Kane once again stepped up, scoring his ninth penalty for Bayern Munich in the Champions League, restoring their two-goal lead.
The second half saw more drama, with a second goal from Chelsea being disallowed for offside. Vincent Kompany also made a strategic substitution at half-time, replacing Jonathan Tah due to his shaky performance.
The turning point of the match came when Cole Palmer equalized for Chelsea with a beautiful strike. However, Bayern Munich regrouped and scored another goal, securing a 3-1 victory.
The win was a significant milestone for Bayern Munich, marking their 22nd consecutive opening win in the Champions League. The coaching team of Pafos FC, Chelsea's next opponents, was not mentioned in the search results. Bayern will face Pafos FC away in two weeks, with Vincent Kompany, Bayern's coach, setting his sights on winning the Champions League title.
Meanwhile, Manuel Neuer, the captain, celebrated his 100th Champions League win during the match, a testament to his consistent performance over the years. Michael Olise missed a sitter after a beautiful setup from Harry Kane, but the missed opportunity did not dampen the spirits of the Bayern Munich team.
In the end, Bayern Munich started their Champions League campaign with a hard-fought victory, setting the tone for an exciting season ahead. Cole Palmer, despite missing a sitter, was the match winner in Chelsea's 3-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup final, and he will be a player to watch in the upcoming matches.
