"Bayern cruised to a 3-1 performance in a result that did not always feel assured throughout the match, but was fully earned by the end of the 90 minutes. An impressive display, considering the opponents are coming off a strong showing as this summer's Club World Cup Champions. "Our energy is there, you can feel it. It's important that we stay on our path, regardless of the result," Kimmich relayed after the match (as captured by FCBInside, via @iMiaSanMia). "Not everything was perfect today, especially at the beginning of the second half, but towards the end the team did very well again.""
"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 beat Chelsea 3-1 in the Champions League group-stage opener at the Allianz, with Harry Kane scoring twice and a Chelsea own goal contributing. The victory felt fully earned despite uneven patches, particularly early in the second half. Joshua Kimmich highlighted visible team energy and stressed staying on course regardless of results while acknowledging imperfections that improved late in the match. Chelsea produced quality moments, including a first-half counterattack goal, but lacked the stamina to match Bayern across the full 90 minutes. Bayern faces challenging away fixtures against Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in the group.
