Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany: ‘Results don’t reflect Real Madrid quality’ Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany was optimistic about their chances of reaching the Champions League semi-finals against Real Madrid on Wednesday. The Bavarian side hold a 2-1 advantage from the first leg, and are heavy favourites to go through. One of the fashionable phrases currently is that Champions League games are decided by details, and Kompany was asked whether he thought that would be the case.
“It’s difficult, there are many things that can be important. The team, the commitment, knowing how to suffer… Sometimes a referee can also decide, I don’t expect it to happen. The feeling is that we are prepared.
We have trained well and there is enthusiasm,” he told Marca . ‘We have to focus on ourselves’ – Kompany The first leg saw two vastly different halves, with Bayern dominating the first half, but the final 20 minutes belonged to Los Blancos. “We could have scored more goals in the first leg.
They played better in the second half and improved. They can gain confidence from that performance. We had a good feeling, and we can improve too.
We can be confident, but we have to show it. With the quality Real Madrid has, they’re always dangerous. We have to focus on ourselves and find solutions.
