"'I thought we played well,' Palmer said. 'We've shown we deserve to play here. The three goals we conceded were our own fault. We had chances. We deserved better than what we got. 'We started well. We had early chances to score, but when you make mistakes at the back it's always difficult to come back into the game. 'It was a lack of concentration, and not managing the moments correctly."
"'I feel like we showed we can play against the best teams in the competition. 'The manager said to us before (the game) that he knows we can go toe-to-toe. I think we showed that despite the result. To be back in the competition is nice, we just need to kick on from here. 'We are not coming here for it to be a learning curve. We want to compete.'"
"'Why is it not a red card? The referee told me it was not hard or aggressive enough. So to give the red card, they need to see blood? 'For me, it was a red card. It was a tough decision from the referee because he could maybe judge a different way.'"
Chelsea's return to the Champions League ended in defeat after three self-inflicted goals: Trevoh Chalobah's own goal, a penalty following a Moises Caicedo foul, and a mistake by Malo Gusto, which allowed Harry Kane and Bayern Munich to take the win at the Allianz Arena. Cole Palmer produced a superb strike but attributed the loss to concentration lapses and poor moment management. Chelsea created chances and believes it can compete with top teams. Manager Enzo Maresca criticised the referee's decision not to send off Jonathan Tah, calling the foul worthy of a red card.
