How is that Not a Red Card? 😱😱 Watch how Chelsea was Robbed of a goal and Red Card by Tar Dangerious tackle by VAR Against Bayern Munich, Fueling Frustration and Debate Among Fans and Pundits
Chelsea’s Cole Palmer expressed his sentiments after the team’s 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in their UEFA Champions League opener, feeling that his team deserved more from the match. Despite the tough challenge at Allianz Arena, Palmer believed that Chelsea rose to the occasion and competed well, especially in the first half. The Blues faced an early deficit after conceding an own goal and a Harry Kane penalty, but Palmer’s impressive strike into the top left-hand corner brought Chelsea back into the game.
However, Bayern took control of the match in the second half and added a third goal, again courtesy of Kane’s right boot. Palmer did score again late in the game, but VAR intervened, ruling him offside. This led Palmer to feel that Chelsea was owed more for their performance in the intense atmosphere.
Reflecting on the match, Palmer stated, “I feel like we deserved more, to be honest. We started well and had early chances to score, but when you make mistakes at the highest level, it’s hard to come back into the game.” He acknowledged that Chelsea had moments of lack of concentration and failed to manage certain situations correctly. Nevertheless, Palmer emphasized that the team showed they could compete against one of the best teams in the competition.
Palmer also highlighted the importance of learning from the experience and moving forward. He mentioned that head coach Enzo Maresca had emphasized before the match that Chelsea could go toe-to-toe with anyone, and Palmer believed that the team demonstrated this despite the result. “It’s a good learning curve for tonight, and to be back in the competition is nice, so we just need to kick off from here,” Palmer said.
The match was a significant test for Chelsea, and although the result wasn’t in their favor, Palmer’s comments suggest that the team is determined to learn from the experience and improve moving forward in the competition. With the opportunity to regroup and prepare for their next match, Chelsea will aim to bounce back stronger and make a positive impact in the Champions League.
