Chelsea are back in the Champions League, but Bayern prove too much to handle

Chelsea's return to the Champions League ended in a 3-0 defeat against the formidable Bayern Munich. Despite Chelsea's ambitions to make a mark in the competition, the German giants proved too much to handle. Bayern's clinical performance, marked by goals from Kingsley Coman, Serge Gnabry, and a late strike from Mathys Tel, showcased their dominance and experience at the highest level. Chelsea, led by Vincent Kompany, showed promise but were ultimately outclassed by the sheer quality and tactical discipline of their opponents. The loss serves as a learning experience for Chelsea, as they look to build on this outing and make further strides in the Champions League. Bayern's victory underlines their continued status as one of the top contenders in the tournament, with their ability to control the game and punish any mistakes proving too much for the returning English side.
