Chelsea lost their opening Champions League match of the season to Bayern Munich on Wednesday with star Cole Palmer frustrated by how his side lost the match.
A vintage Harry Kane performance sank the Blues in Bavaria despite Palmer marking his 100th appearance with his first Champions League goal for the club. The talismanic midfielder opined on the team’s performance afterwards, praising the collective but highlighting where they went wrong in their return to Europe’s premier competition.
“I thought we played well. We’ve shown we deserve to play here” Palmer said.
“The three goals we conceded were our own fault. We had chances. We deserved better than what we got. We started well. We had early chances to score, but when you make mistakes at the back it’s always difficult to come back into the game. It was a lack of concentration, and not managing the moments correctly. I feel like we showed we can play against the best teams in the competition.
“The manager said to us before that he knows we can go toe-to-toe. I think we showed that despite the result. To be back in the competition is nice, we just need to kick on from here.”
