Vincent Kompany's Bittersweet Reflection on Bayern's Exit

Vincent Kompany shares his thoughts on Bayern Munich's Champions League exit, citing injury issues and reflecting on the team's performance.

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany expressed regret over the injury issues that plagued his team ahead of the quarter-final against Inter Milan. “I think the big issue, before Inter, was injuries,” Kompany said. “We had to understand what we could do without (Hiroki) Ito, (Dayot) Upamecano, (Jamal) Musiala, (Manuel) Neuer, (Alphonso) Davies, (Kingsley) Coman, (Aleksandar) Pavlovic.”

Despite the injury challenges, Kompany's team showed resilience and determination in both legs against Inter Milan, ultimately losing 4-3 on aggregate. Although they gave a good account of themselves, Bayern will not feature in the final at their home stadium, the Allianz Arena.

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany expressed mixed feelings after the team's Champions League exit. “I think in the first game we showed a good Bayern Munich, I'm not talking about the result. In the second game we also showed a positive attitude in Milan,” Kompany said. “We had many scoring chances, more than Inter. I have mixed feelings. The harsh reality is that we will not play the Champions League final at home.”

Kompany highlighted his team's performance, stating, “We know we have done enough to win these games.” When asked about the impact of the hectic schedule on the injury crisis, he replied, “Unfortunately, I don't decide. In addition to the many games, there are long journeys and the pressure increases when we have absences.”
