Chelsea were ‘taken apart’ by Bayern Munich says pundit

Two goals from Serge Gnabry and a third from Robert Lewandowski sealed an emphatic win for the Bundesliga giants.

“There is a lot of quality in their team, and a build to it with players like [Robert] Lewandowski, [Thomas] Muller, [Jerome] Boateng, [Manuel] Neuer, [David] Alaba, who have been there a long time. There is a lot to their team we have to respect.
“In the first half we suffered in moments but we defended resiliently. Technically our defending wasn’t great but we stayed in the game and had a couple of chances.
“You have to show more than we showed over 90 minutes. The first goal had a bit of a slip in the build-up, but the clinical nature with which they finished it showed a team of their quality will score goals if you give them chances.”
