The striker reaches 42 goals in the tournament and becomes the greatest scorer in England in the competition; The Bavarians maintain perfectly from the season
Bayern left their business card to the debut of their 2025/26 champions. Wednesday (17), the Monaco club beat Chelsea 3-1 at the Allianz Arena in a game valid for the first round of the main European football club competition. The defender Chaalobah (cons) opened the markings for the owners of the house, while the top scorer Harry Kane, with two goals scored, was the highlight of the victory in Germany. On the English side, Cole Palmer served with a beautiful goal after table with bad taste.
The Brazilian João Pedro was an appetizer in the Chelsea attack, but had a performance without great importance. On the other hand, Stephen made his debut at the champions just 35 minutes in the second half and did not have many opportunities to avoid defeat.
In this way, Bayern Munich confirmed the beginning of the overwhelming season under the command of the coach Vincent Kompany. With the result, the team reached the sixth consecutive victory in 2025/26. Previously, the Bavarians won the German Super Cup, advanced in the second round of the German Cup and lead the Bundesliga with nine points in three rounds.
The last time Bayern lost in a champions debut was in 2002, when he was defeated by Deportivo La Coruña, from Spain.
In addition, with both goals scored on Wednesday, Harry Kane became the greatest English marker in the history of the championship with 42 goals.

On the other hand, Chelsea, the current champion of the Club World Cup, played again a championship edition after two seasons and saw its unbeaten sequence that ends. The English club only played in the Premier League and is the fifth place, with eight points in four rounds (two wins and two draws), but in the end he was defeated in his debut in the European competition.
The game
The teams delivered a first time worthy of the size of the duel between Bayern and Chelsea. The owners of the house opened the score 19 minutes after a good Olise move on the right, in which defender Chalobah sent against his own network. The Bayern expanded at 26 in a penalty football converted by Harry Kane, whom he himself suffered. However, Chelsea reacted and the next minute Palmer made a great move, chopped with malo taste and finished for plate, without any possibility for Neuer.
In the second phase, the rhythm of the game decreased, but there were possibilities for both sides. On the first great occasion of Bayern, Sánchez made a good saving on Harry Kane’s burning. Chelsea’s goalkeeper shone again by making a great intervention in the final of Oliise. However, Harry Kane did not waste the second chance he had. Therefore, after missing the ball from the Blues, the English top scorer ended the cross to expand the advantage and refer to the victory in Munich. In the last moments of the game, Palmer has broken the net again, but the goal was canceled by VAR by a position of impediment of shirt 10.
