Chelsea 2-3 Bayern Munich: 5 Talking Points

Bayern Munich took full advantage of Chelsea's slow start to the game to stun the Premier League champions. They took a 3-0 lead within 27 minutes but after that, it was all Chelsea.

The Blues managed to pull two goals back, one at the end of the first half through Marcos Alonso and the other in the 85th minute through Michy Batshuayi.

Here are the talking points from the game:

#5 - Upgrade on Alonso is a must

You're not Alex Sando

The main concern for Antonio Conte right now has to be a left-back. Marcos Alonso was brilliant last season but the Spaniard does not have it in him to repeat last season's performance.

Alex Sandro is the top target right now and a £60 million bid by the Blues is still on Juventus' table. The Serie A champions want Nemanja Matic and Chelsea should take advantage of it to strike a deal for the Brazilian full-back.

Another target for Chelsea is their former player and Academy product, Ryan Bertrand. Getting one of Sandro or Bertrand would bench Alonso and it would surely be an upgrade to the starting XI!

#4 - There's hope for Renato Sanches

All's not lost!

When Renato Sanches broke into the Portugal starting XI at the EURO 2016, he got the world talking about him. However, a move to Bayern Munich from Benfica made people question his abilities.

He was benched more often than not by Carlo Ancelotti and he's now on the move once again. AC Milan and Manchester United are targeting him and his performance against Chelsea today showed what he's made of.

He was confident on the ball, his vision was superb and his passing was exquisite. He might not have a future at Bayern, but if he gets to play regularly elsewhere, he can go on to be one of the best in the world very soon.

#3 - Christensen shows his class

Next John Terry?

One player all Chelsea fans were waiting to see in the defence this pre-season was Andreas Christensen. The Danish central defender started today's game against Bayern Munich ahead of David Luiz and showed everyone what he's made of.

Chelsea might have conceded 3 goals but Christensen was at fault for none. Apart from Thomas Muller's second goal, the 21-year-old was never out of position throughout the game.

Against Inter Milan, it would be interesting to see if Conte ditches Gary Cahill and starts Christensen alongside David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta. Fikayo Tomori also looked sharp when he came on and Conte would be happy to see one more option for the Right Wing-Back position.

#2 - Ribery is still a beast!

Still got it!

THIRTY-FOUR YEARS OLD! Yes, Franck Ribéry is 34 years old! The way he played against Chelsea today would really make you doubt his birth certificate.

He was running rings around Victor Moses and also giving the highly composed Cesar Azpilicueta a tough time. The Frenchman was responsible for Bayern Munich's 2nd goal - a beautiful assist to Thomas Muller.

Douglas Costa was bought to bench Ribery at Bayern but the Brazilian has been sold while Ribery is still terrorising the opponents for Bayern Munich.

#1 - Courtois needs to focus

Time to focus!

It might have been just a pre-season game, but when you are on the pitch, we are expected to be on top of your game. Thibaut Courtois was far from it.

His lack of focus got Bayern their first goal while it might sound harsh, the third goal could have been avoided had been on his line. It would have given him more time to make a move.

Next up, Chelsea face Inter Milan and it would be their final game in Singapore. Courtois would have to be on top of his game if the Blues want to win the game.
