Chelsea won the Champions League title by defeating Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in 2012. That was the Blues’ last happy memory against the Bavarian club. The English giants have lost every time they have faced Bayern since then. The German champions defeated Chelsea 3-1 in the group stage of this season’s UEFA Champions League.
Bayern took the lead with an own goal in the 20th minute of the match at the Allianz Arena on Wednesday (September 17). The home team’s winger Michael Oliseh cut back into the box and the ball went into the net, hitting the feet of Chelsea center-back Trevor Chalobah. Shortly after, England captain Harry Kane doubled the lead from the penalty spot.
This time, Chelsea midfielder Caicedo made a mistake. The Ecuadorian midfielder threw Kane while trying to block the ball in his own box. The referee blew the penalty whistle. Kane made no mistake in scoring from the spot kick. Then, in the 29th minute, Chelsea equalized with a goal from Cole Palmer.
Although there were no more goals in the first half, the match was tense. However, in the second half of the match, the current Club World Cup champions did not get any attention from Bayern. Chelsea made another mistake in the 63rd minute. Malo Gusto made a mistake and passed the ball to Kane under pressure from a Bayern player.
The English striker made no mistake in getting the ball on this journey. Kane easily put the ball in the net to score his second goal and Bayern’s third. With this goal, he also set a new record. Kane is the third footballer after Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar to score more than 20 goals for two clubs in the Champions League.
