Chelsea's Cole Palmer Scores on Champions League Debut, but Bayern Munich Defeats Blues

Cole Palmer scored on his Champions League debut for Chelsea, but the team fell to Bayern Munich. Despite Palmer's impressive performance, Chelsea suffered a 2-0 defeat at the Allianz Arena.

Trevoh Chalobah scored an own goal, and Harry Kane added a penalty, overshadowing Palmer's goal. Palmer, the first Englishman to score on his Champions League debut for Chelsea, also had a disallowed goal.

Bayern Munich regained control in the 60th minute, securing the win. Chelsea's youngest European starting XI under coach Enzo Maresca showed promise but lacked intensity throughout the match.

Palmer's involvement in 73 goals since joining Chelsea in 2023 was highlighted.
