Kane Brace Lifts Bayern Past Chelsea 3-1 in Champions League Opener

Kane described the night as precisely the stage he joined Bayern to embrace.

Overview

  • Bayern led through a Trevoh Chalobah own goal on 20 minutes and a Harry Kane penalty on 27 minutes after Moises Caicedo fouled him.
  • Chelsea responded through Cole Palmer in the 29th minute before Kane restored a two-goal cushion in the 63rd minute after Bayern’s press forced a Malo Gusto error, with Serge Gnabry providing the assist.
  • A late Palmer finish was disallowed by VAR for offside, preserving Bayern’s two-goal margin.
  • Head coach Vincent Kompany highlighted Kane’s pressing and recovery work, urging observers to watch his contributions off the ball.
  • Kane said the Champions League’s openness suits him and reiterated that he came to Bayern for nights like this, while Palmer said Chelsea’s goals conceded were their own mistakes and that they deserved more.
