"Early on, without troubling Manuel Neuer too much in the Bayern goal, the Club World Cup Champions looked the more dangerous team in the final third. However, that all changed midway through the first half when Michael Olise's inviting cross from the right resulted in an own goal from Chelsea center-back Trevoh Chalobah. From then on, the Bavarian giants took control of the game."
"However, apart from his two goals, the 32-year-old striker was once again the most impressive player on the pitch. In the second half, with the score still at 2-1, the England Captain did his Konrad Laimer impersonation with a slick run through the inside-right channel before cutting the ball back to a wide-open Michael Olise. Unfortunately, and rather surprisingly, Kane was denied the assist when Olise struck the ball within an arm's length of the goalkeeper with half the goal to aim for."
Bayern Munich won 3-1 at the Allianz Arena to begin the 2025/26 Champions League campaign. Chelsea started more dangerous in the final third but conceded an own goal from Trevoh Chalobah after Michael Olise's cross shifted momentum. Harry Kane converted a first-half penalty and later curled a second-half finish to complete a brace. Cole Palmer scored to halve the deficit before half-time. Bayern created more chances and made fewer errors than Chelsea. Kane combined goal-scoring, creative runs, and a near-assist while Bayern maintained control for most of the match.
