Chelsea chief Enzo Maresca and goalkeeper Cole Palmer decided to occupy the positives, despite the 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich on the return of the Blue to the Champions League.
The World Cup champions of the conference and the club played their first game in Europe at the elite club since 2023, but unlike 2012, when they raised the trophy, This trip to the Allianz Arena for Chelsea was unhappyS
Harry Kane Brace’s own goal and Trevor Trebola gave the German giants the victory, but Chelsea worried her hosts in spells and pulled back through the hills through Palmer’s high-end finale with the score at 2-0.
And despite the result, Mareska insisted that he was pleased with the display of her players.
« In general, I think the performance was pretty good. We started very well in the first 20 minutes, creating two or three clear chances, » Chelsea’s boss told TNT Sports.
« Then, when we admit, we can avoid this kind of goal. The game has changed a little, but we were in the game, we’re noting a goal.
« We started the second half, creating chances, and after recognizing the third goal, the game changed again. »
Asked what eventually went wrong for his team in the second half with the score at 2-1, Mareska said: « Nothing, we just unfortunately admitted another goal that killed the game a little.
« But even with that, I think we were in the game. We’re trying to the end, we scored another goal that unfortunately was off.
« I think we can learn a lot from this game. At some times we weren’t good enough, but we can learn a lot.
« This is a reality because the Champions League is this type of game, especially against Bayern, who is one of the favorites. But overall I think we competed quite well. »
In the meantime, Palmer repeated his manager’s moods and believes that the team has done enough to show that they can compete with clubs with big names at this level.
« It was disappointing. I feel like we deserve more, » Palmer said.
« We started well. We had an early chance to note. But when you make mistakes at the highest level, it’s hard to come back.
« Maybe a lack of concentration without managing the moments. But I think we have shown that we can play against one of the best teams in the race.
« This is a good training curve. Let’s get back to the race is nice. We have to start from here.
« We have shown that we can compete. »
Chelsea are next when they travel to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on Saturday.
