The Champions has just confirmed the appalling VAR Error that was made by referees during the play between Bayern Munich and Chelsea. The Champions League is currently under scrutiny due to the shocking VAR mistake that was made by The Referee that occurred during the match after Cole Palmer goal was rules as Offside

Chelsea’s manager, Enzo Maresca, lavished praise on his team’s performance against Bayern Munich, despite succumbing to a 3-1 defeat in their Champions League opener. Maresca acknowledged that Bayern were a formidable side, but felt that his team showed immense promise, particularly in the second half when they conjured up some scintillating chances. He emphasized the importance of learning to maintain their intensity for the full 95 minutes, as Chelsea’s energy levels appeared to wane towards the end of the match.

Cole Palmer, who scored Chelsea’s goal, echoed Maresca’s sentiments, stating that the team deserved more from the match. Palmer noted that Chelsea’s lack of concentration and failure to capitalize on key moments cost them dearly. However, he remained optimistic, highlighting that the team had demonstrated their ability to compete against one of the best teams in the competition.

Harry Kane, speaking after the match, was delighted with Bayern’s performance, praising his teammates for their relentless intensity and quick movement with and without the ball. Kane scored two goals for Bayern, including a beautifully struck effort into the far corner.

The defeat means that Chelsea will face a stern challenge in their next match against Benfica at home. With Barcelona and tough trips to Italy looming on the horizon, Chelsea will need to regroup and elevate their performance if they are to stand any chance of progressing in the Champions League.

In a post-match interview, Maresca expressed his frustration with the referee’s decision to give Jonathan Tah a yellow card for his foul on Joao Pedro, feeling that it should have been a red card given the egregious nature of the challenge. Despite the setback, Maresca remained sanguine about his team’s prospects, highlighting their mobility and talent as key strengths that will serve them well in the competition.

The match showcased Chelsea’s youthful energy and talent, but also exposed their inexperience and tendency to make mistakes. The Blues will look to learn from their mistakes and emerge stronger in their next match, with the aim of securing a positive result against Benfica. As Maresca aptly put it, “We need to learn to play for 95 minutes,” and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea can heed this advice and turn their fortunes around in the Champions League.
