"The boys had fun on the pitch and deserved to win the game. We already faced difficult opponents this season: Tottenham in pre-season, Stuttgart and Leipzig. But of course we know that Chelsea are the Club World Cup champions. The concentration was very good today, we played our game and didn't lose focus. It was important to be aggressive without leaving too much space and not to lose many duels. We did that well. We keep going."
"The Bavarians were able to tough out a rugged 3-1 victory in a match that was not all that pleasing to the eye. Harry Kane's brace and an own goal from Chelsea paced Bayern Munich. While Chelsea did some good things (including a terrific first half counterattack for a goal), the Londoners did not have enough gas in the tank to keep up with the German powerhouse."
Bayern Munich opened their Champions League campaign with a 3-1 home victory over Chelsea. Harry Kane scored a brace and a Chelsea own goal added to Bayern's tally. Chelsea produced a quality first-half counterattack goal but lacked the stamina to match Bayern as the match progressed. Bayern combined concentration and controlled aggression to limit space and win key duels. The performance followed challenging recent matches against Tottenham, Stuttgart and Leipzig. Bayern travel to Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga this weekend. Bavarian Podcast Works offers lineup analysis, scoring and substitution rundowns, and postgame takeaways.
