Bayern Munich made a statement at the Allianz Arena with a 3-1 victory over Chelsea in the Champions League group stage. The Bavarians’ dominance was highlighted by an unfortunate own goal from Trevoh Chalobah, which set the tone for their deserved win.
Chelsea started brightly, pressing high and trying to create chances, but Bayern’s relentless attacking pressure eventually broke through. In a cruel twist, Chalobah, who had been defending well, diverted a cross into his own net, giving the home side the crucial breakthrough. It was a harsh moment that shifted the momentum entirely in Bayern’s favor.
Despite the setback, Chalobah showed resilience, continuing to intercept dangerous passes and clear his lines under pressure. Yet, Leroy Sané and Harry Kane later struck to secure Bayern’s dominance. Chelsea found a late consolation goal, but the outcome never truly looked in doubt.
The 3-1 defeat underlined Bayern’s strength and Chelsea’s defensive vulnerabilities. For Chalobah, the own goal overshadowed an otherwise committed performance. He fought hard until the final whistle, but the decisive moment will be remembered as the turning point that tipped the balance of the match in favor of Munich.
