KANE DESTROYS CHELSEA! Bayern punish Blues with clinical Champions League win
Harry Kane showed no mercy against Chelsea as Bayern Munich stormed to a 3-1 Champions League victory. The England captain scored twice, while defensive mistakes left the Blues heartbroken on their return to Europe’s biggest stage.
A Nightmare Start for Chelsea
Chelsea actually began with energy and intent. Pedro Neto and Enzo Fernandez both missed golden chances, while Cole Palmer looked lively on his 100th appearance. But all their early momentum was undone by a bizarre own goal.
The Blues switched off during a drop-ball situation. Bayern pounced. Pressure came, the ball flew in, and Trevoh Chalobah turned into his own net. It was a gift Bayern did not refuse.
Palmer Hits Back in Style!
To his credit, Palmer answered quickly. The Chelsea midfielder placed a rocket shot into the top corner, reminding the Allianz Arena of his talent. For a brief moment, the Blues were alive again.
But experience matters in the Champions League. And Bayern had plenty of it.
Kane’s Deadly Double
The turning point came when Moises Caicedo tripped Kane inside the box. No doubt. No mistake. Kane picked himself up and calmly scored the penalty to make it 2-1.
Chelsea pushed forward after the break, desperate for an equaliser. Michael Olise and Palmer threatened, but Bayern stayed calm.
Then came the killer blow. Malo Gusto gave the ball away cheaply. Kane punished him in ruthless style, curling a brilliant finish into the corner. Bayern led 3-1, and the game was over.
Bayern’s Ruthless Record
This result was not just another victory. It was Bayern’s 22nd consecutive opening win in the Champions League. Veteran goalkeeper Manuel Neuer played his 151st game in the competition — more than Chelsea’s entire squad combined before kick-off.
Bayern showed once again why they are kings of group stages, while Chelsea’s lack of experience was brutally exposed.
What Next for Chelsea?
The Blues now face Benfica at Stamford Bridge, in what could be a dramatic night if Jose Mourinho returns as manager. Fans will hope defensive mistakes are cut out fast, or Europe could be short-lived this season.
For Bayern, confidence is growing. With Kane in this form, who would dare bet against them going deep in the tournament?
