Analysis: Bayern Munich 3-1 Chelsea

Chelsea must learn lessons from this performance at the Allianz Arena.

They were equals to Bayern in the first half but were a goal down after two mistakes despite brilliance from Cole Palmer.

Bayern manager Vincent Kompany made tweaks at the interval, having no doubt spotted Enzo Maresca tried to repeat his tactics from the Club World Cup final win over Paris St-Germain, and the game swung back in the German side's favour.

Kane scored an all-important third goal in the 63rd minute, but multiple chances before then were a signal Maresca should have used his substantial bench sooner.

Estevao Willian, Alejandro Garnacho, Jamie Gittens and a host of other attackers may have swung the game.

Garnacho and Andrey Santos came on immediately after Kane's second goal but it was too late. Estevao also came on and set up Palmer's 88th-minute goal, which was ruled out by a narrow offside call after a VAR check.

Meanwhile, Bayern had only five senior players on their bench. They went down to their fourth-choice option at left-back after an injury to Josip Stanisic early in the second half.

It must also be said that this was far from a disastrous performance and many Chelsea players showed an aptitude to play at this level. Of course, no-one more so than Palmer.
