Chelsea felt the force of Harry Kane’s ruthlessness as he scored twice in a 3-1 victory for Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
In the Blues first Champions League game since 2022/23, their inexperience at the elite level was exposed by Bayern, who took the lead through a Trevoh Chalobah own-goal before Kane bagged a double.
Cole Palmer’s expert finish brought Chelsea back into the game in the first half but their downfall was self inflicted, with Moises Caicedo needlessly fouling Kane for a penalty and Malo Gusto playing a sloppy pass straight into the path of the England striker who finished with utmost composure.
Kane already has 10 goals in five appearances for Bayern in all competitions this season.
Chelsea next welcome Benfica in the Champions League, which could see Jose Mourinho return to Stamford Bridge, with the Portuguese expected to be appointed manager this week.
