Before facing Benfica, Enzo Fernández struggles at Bayern – Chelsea | OneFootball

Bayern Munich defeated Chelsea 3-1 in the first round of the Champions League. Enzo Fernández, former Benfica player, had a very tough night at the Allianz Arena, in what was the last European match before facing the Eagles again.

The match started somewhat evenly, despite the Bavarian offensive. The score was opened in the 20th minute, due to an unfortunate own goal by Trevoh Chalobah. In the 27th minute, Harry Kane increased the German lead with a penalty, and Cole Palmer still pulled one back for the Blues (29’).

In the second half, Chelsea still tried to threaten Manuel Neuer’s goal, but Bayern managed to take control of the game and established a period of dominance. In the 63rd minute, Kane took advantage of a pass from Serge Gnabry to score his second and seal the 3-1 final result.

With this victory, Bayern is third in the league phase of UEFA’s millionaire competition. PSG—thanks to goal difference—Union St. Gilloise, and Bayern complete the podium. Chelsea now occupies 32nd out of 26 positions in the table. Benfica is 29th, after being defeated by Qarabag.

In 2024/25, Enzo Fernández — currently valued at 75 million euros — played 57 official matches for club and country. In the 4,418 minutes he played, he scored 10 goals and provided 19 assists. The former Benfica player also won the Conference League against Real Betis, as team captain.
