Cole Palmer (Chelsea)
September 2025
Cole Palmer admitted individual errors doomed Chelsea in their 3-1 defeat to Bayern Munich in their Champions League return. Despite his fine goal, Palmer insisted the result was avoidable as defensive lapses gifted Harry Kane and Bayern a decisive edge. Trevoh Chalobah’s own goal, Moises Caicedo’s foul, and Malo Gusto’s turnover all punished the Blues. Palmer highlighted the team’s bright start and chances created but stressed poor concentration undermined them. He vowed Chelsea can compete at this level and must quickly learn from mistakes.
