Bayern player ratings: Olise shines, top marks for brace hero Kane | OneFootball

FC Bayern celebrates an opening victory in the new Champions League season. Coach Vincent Kompany's team wins against Chelsea FC with 3:1. The Bayern stars in the FCBinside individual review.

Manuel Neuer: In the first half, Neuer had nothing to do – until the goal by Palmer made it 1:2. The Bayern keeper was powerless there. In the second half, Neuer remained completely unoccupied. Rating: 3.

Konrad Laimer: Once again formed a dangerous duo with Olise as a right-back. Laimer often joined in the attack. After a pass from Olise, Laimer even had a good chance to score himself but put the ball wide of the post. He nicely set up Kane, who was denied by Chelsea keeper Sanchez. After Stanisic was substituted, Laimer switched to the left side and played well there too. Good game from the Bayern all-rounder! Rating: 2.

Dayot Upamecano: Was very attentive against the dangerous Chelsea offense and won his duels. Upamecano was a rock against the club world champion. Rating: 2.

Jonathan Tah: Got involved in a scuffle with Pedro at midfield level before Chelsea's goal to make it 1:2, struck out, and caught him on the neck. As a result, Bayern was very open and conceded the goal. Tah should have handled it better. Many also demanded a red card for his foul. Because Tah was at risk of being sent off, Kompany took him off at halftime. Rating: 4.

Josip Stanisic: Was left quite alone by his teammates during the goal to make it 1:2 and couldn't do anything in a one-on-two against Gusto and Palmer. Overall, Chelsea ran a lot down his left defensive side. Shortly after the break, Stanisic had to come off injured. Rating: 4.

Joshua Kimmich: Initiated the goal to make it 1:0 with his pass outside to Olise. Otherwise, he toiled as usual in Munich's central midfield. Rating: 3.

Aleksandar Pavlovic: Was preferred over Leon Goretzka again. Was not as noticeable in the offensive play as recently against HSV. However, he also made no mistakes. Was substituted in the 64th minute. Overall a solid game from Pavlovic. Rating: 3.

Michael Olise: His dangerous cross was deflected by Chelsea's Chalobah with his knee into his own goal to make it 1:0 for Bayern. Olise had numerous strong offensive actions and caused a lot of trouble. He narrowly missed the goal when he shot from the edge of the box after a corner. In the second half, Olise missed a clear chance: the Frenchman failed from close range against Sanchez. He has to score that! Later, he was unlucky with a curler – the ball went just wide. Overall a strong performance from the Frenchman. Was celebrated with chants at the end. Rating: 2.

Serge Gnabry: Was very active and committed in the early stages. The longer the game went on, the less noticeable the national player became. Overall still Rating: 3.

Luis Diaz: Tried a long-range shot that went way over. Was very harmless with a finish in the second half. Failed again against Sanchez. Otherwise, Diaz was often quite isolated, but he was engaged. Rating: 3.

Harry Kane: Headed over once in the first half. Coolly converted the penalty he won himself to make it 2:0. Kane missed a big chance in the second half when he couldn't beat Sanchez in the Chelsea goal from close range after a pass from Laimer. Shortly after, Kane remained cool: after a botched clearance by Gusto, he placed the ball flat in the right corner to make it 3:1. Two goals and another top game from the Englishman. Rating: 1.

Substitutes:

Minjae Kim (46th for Tah): Played stably and error-free after his substitution. Rating: 3.

Sacha Boey (51st for Kim): Showed ball security as a right-back and also contributed to the attack. Decent game. Rating: 3.

Leon Goretzka (64th for Pavlovic): Played inconspicuously but error-free after his substitution, like Pavlovic before him. Rating: 3.

Nicolas Jackson (90th for Kane): Came on too late for a rating.

Tom Bischof (90th for Gnabry): Came on too late for a rating.
