"Yeah [frustrating]. We deserved more. We started well, had early chances but when you make mistakes at the highest level it's difficult. We showed we can play against one of the best teams in the competition. We deserved more to be honest. The manager said to us before we can go toe-to-toe. It's a good learning curve and to be back in the competition is nice."
"Chelsea played Bayern Munich in their first Champions League match on their return to the competition. The Blues travelled away to Munich in what is one of the biggest matches of this week but their return to Europe's elite competition ended up in disappointment. Chelsea lost 3-1 against Vincent Kompany's side as Harry Kane scored twice for the hosts and Enzo Maresca's side only managed to score one goal through Cole Palmer, the man in form."
Chelsea lost 3-1 at Bayern Munich in their return to the Champions League, with Harry Kane scoring twice and Cole Palmer netting Chelsea's sole goal. Palmer expressed frustration, saying the team started well but errors at the highest level proved costly and that they deserved more. Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo were largely anonymous while Palmer showed form against top opposition. The manager had encouraged the team to go toe-to-toe. The result marked an underwhelming start after absence since 2023. Chelsea will face Benfica next for a chance at their first win.
