Overview
- Bayern beat club world champions Chelsea 3:1 in Munich to open their Champions League campaign.
- Manuel Neuer registered his 100th Champions League victory and, at 39 years and 174 days, became Bayern's oldest player in the competition, surpassing Lothar Matthäus.
- Harry Kane scored twice, including a first-half penalty, and Michael Olise's driven cross produced Trevoh Chalobah's own goal as the winger fueled multiple attacks.
- Bayern confirmed Josip Stanišić sustained a partial inner‑ligament tear in his right knee and is out for now, with Sacha Boey impressing after replacing him and Konrad Laimer covering on the left.
