Enzo Maresca’s side is rejoicing Bayern Munich as he returns to the Champions League, with the Chelsea star in particular escaping his “scrambled” head from the Allianz Arena, rejoicing as the boos keeps his ears ringing.
Trevo Charova diverted the ball to his own net before Harry Kane scored a penalty that was knocked down to the box by Moises Caseko to give Bayern a two-goal lead midway through the first half.
Cole Palmer came back almost immediately with a very beautiful finish after running from the inside of half of his own to begin a counter attack.
Malo Gusto provided Palmer’s goal assist, but then took responsibility for Bayern’s third and Kane’s second.
Chelsea wasn’t generally bad, but their mistakes were punished on the night when the difference between the Conference League and the Champions League became apparent, just as was the enduring, wonderful and trivial hostility that German football fans targeted Mark Kuklera.
Spain International emerged as one of the best left-backs in the Premier League after an invisible start to their presence at Chelsea, but spent a passionate time against Michael Oris.
Nevin said in the first half after Ollise beat him several times already:
Nevin then added: “Olize is a complete joy to watch. Everything happens at a gentle pace. He is responsible for not only the ball, but all the control of everything around him.
“He doesn’t even need to have Kukurera on board. He’s just pulling away from Chelsea’s defense.”
Although it is hard to imagine Kukulera as a man who was negatively influenced by the hostility of his rival fans, he may actually be used to being one of the most important sh*t-st-stirers of world football, I was very surprised that German fan Lancer had a) crossed from international football to club games.

It is not Kukurera’s fault for both British officials (Judge Anthony Taylor and Val Stuart Atwell) to award Germany a quarter-final defeat penalty to Spain at Euro 2024 after a shot of Jamal Musiala hit the box.
Cukrera opened in the booing that followed in the semi-finals during his victory in France.
He said: “It only happened when my name was read before the game and a lot of people blew hist and hent. After thinking about it for a bit, I realized that it was because of the handball situation.
“I didn’t think much about it, but at the same time it was a bit sad that people came to the game just to boo a single player. Some people wereted tickets. They were able to go to fans who really enjoyed the game.”
We can please how long this glorious pettiness lasts. And the best part about this is that Bayern fans who have either forgotten the slightest perception of Kuklera or have decided to make Bygones have now returned to the booing train on the board. Knockout will become Chelsea’s German opponent.
