Bayern Munich overcame Chelsea 3-1 in their opening Champions League fixture, and Manuel Neuer feels another European title is a realistic aim.
Six-time European champions Bayern last won the competition in 2020, when they downed Paris Saint-Germain in Lisbon.
Vincent Kompany’s team did not play to their full potential in the Champions League last term, losing to eventual runners-up Inter in the last 16, but they kick-started this campaign by seeing off Club World Cup winners Chelsea at Allianz Arena.
Trevoh Chalobah’s own goal opened the scoring, before Harry Kane scored twice to seal the game for Bayern, with Cole Palmer on target for the Blues.
Quick take: Big picture: the update fits broader trends across the league with schedule pressure and tight tables. Supporters will watch for clarity from training ground reports and official briefings. Continental stakes raise the intensity, where away goals no longer apply but margins still feel razor thin. We’ll keep an eye on confirmed details as the story develops from official sources.
