Bayern Munich Celebrate Big Champions League Win Over Chelsea

Bayern Munich started their Champions League run with a strong win over Chelsea at the Allianz Arena. This victory keeps Bayern’s perfect start to the 2025/26 season and puts them at the top of their group. Bayern Munich currently ranks first in the Bundesliga, having won their initial matches and started the season strong.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Bayern Munich outplayed Chelsea in their first Champions League group match on Wednesday night. The home team controlled the game and looked dangerous from the start, with Harry Kane leading the attack. Kane had support from Serge Gnabry and Michael Olise, while Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka balanced the midfield. Even without Alphonso Davies and Jamal Musiala, Bayern showed their strength. They have now won five matches in a row, including a 5-0 win over Hamburg and a German Super Cup win against Stuttgart.

BAYERN’S FORM AND CHELSEA’S RECENT RESULTS

Bayern Munich have started the season with five wins in all competitions, scoring many goals and not facing much opposition. Their recent Bundesliga wins include a 6-0 win over RB Leipzig, 3-2 against Augsburg, and 5-0 over Hamburg. Chelsea, led by Enzo Maresca, were unbeaten in their last three matches, with wins over West Ham (5-1) and Fulham (2-0), but a draw with Crystal Palace (0-0) in the league opener and 2-2 against Brentford in their most recent match. According to a recent report, Chelsea started the Premier League season strongly and are currently sitting in fifth place after four matches, but the loss in Germany puts them in a tough spot as they try to recover in the group.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BAYERN AND CHELSEA?

Bayern Munich stay at the top of both the Bundesliga and their Champions League group. Their next match in the league is against Hoffenheim, who are in the top-6 in the Bundesliga after an impressive start. A win would help Bayern increase their lead at the top, where they are currently ahead of RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund. Chelsea will look to regroup before their Premier League match against Manchester United. They now have to chase their rivals in the Champions League, where the pressure is building after this loss.
