When Chelsea returned to the Champions League, they were defeated by Bayern Munich.
After Chelsea’s crushing Champions League loss to Bayern Munich, Chelsea supporters mercilessly singled out one player.
After finishing fourth in the Premier League the previous season, Chelsea made a comeback to the Champions League.
However, they suffered a humiliating 3-1 loss to Bayern on Wednesday to start their 2025–26 campaign.
Trevoh Chalobah’s goal into his own net in the 20th minute gave the Bundesliga champions the lead.
Before Cole Palmer’s incredible finish cut the gap, Harry Kane extended his team’s lead from the penalty spot.
However, shortly after the hour, Kane curled in a fantastic strike to give Bayern a two-goal lead again.
In his first Champions League match as manager, Enzo Maresca tasted defeat, so it wasn’t quite the start Chelsea had planned for.
After Alejandro Garnacho substituted Pedro Neto in the 67th minute, Chelsea supporters flocked to social media to express their disapproval.
Garnacho failed to spark a comeback when he joined the game with his team trailing by two goals.
While admirers lamented his appearance in Germany, he was mainly ineffectual.
“I don’t think Garnacho has made one forward pass since he came on,” one X user commented. “Back pass merchant.”
Another commented: “Nobody has the weakest shot outside the box ever than Garnacho… that guy shoots like a back pass.”
Another said, “I’m trying to find positives for Garnacho but he’s just not good man.”
According to another prediction, “Garnacho will be in Saudi Arabia within the next 24 months.”
During the summer transfer window, Garnacho paid £40 million to join Chelsea from Manchester United.
He earned his Premier League debut in the Blues’ 2-2 draw at Brentford last weekend, and he might play when they play Man United on Saturday.
