"Bayern Munich will face Chelsea in their first 2025-26 Champions League group stage game at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday. The Bavarian giants made a sluggish start last season and had to struggle to qualify for the knockout rounds, and they want to learn from their past mistakes. Harry Kane has reminded his Bayern teammates of the importance of making a strong start to the Champions League campaign, starting against Chelsea."
"The Blues have been heavily reliant on Cole Palmer over the past 12 months, but so far, other players have stepped up nicely. One of them is Pedro, the Brazilian attacker who moved to Chelsea from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer transfer window. The 23-year-old has already managed two goals and three assists, with a goal conversion rate of 22%. He has managed 2.3 total shots, and also played out 1.0 key passes per game."
Bayern Munich host Chelsea at the Allianz Arena in the opening 2025-26 Champions League group stage fixture. Bayern struggled last season and barely qualified for the knockout rounds, prompting emphasis on a strong start this campaign. Harry Kane urged teammates to make that strong start against Chelsea. Bayern have won three Bundesliga games in a row, scoring 13 goals, with comfortable wins over RB Leipzig, Augsburg and Hamburg. Chelsea remain unbeaten in four Premier League games, have strengthened their squad while loaning Nicolas Jackson to Bayern, and pose threats from Joao Pedro, Pedro Neto and Moises Caicedo.
