Kompany: 'Need the same passion we had against Madrid' FC Bayern went down to a narrow defeat in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final at Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday night after a nine-goal thriller at Parc des Princes. Despite the 5-4 loss, the Bavarians showed impressive character to leave the tie in the balance going into the second leg at the Allianz Arena next Wednesday, 6 May. “In the end it’s only a one-goal margin.

We’ll go into the return leg with full confidence, give it everything and then want to be in the final,” stated Jonathan Tah . Vincent Kompany, who’ll be back in the dugout after serving a touchline ban in the first leg, also appeared confident: “The belief is 100 percent there, as is the feeling. We need our fans and their support with the same passion we had against Madrid.

” fcbayern. com rounds up the rest of the post-match reaction for you. Reaction to match at Paris Saint-Germain Vincent Kompany : “When two teams go into a match like this with this idea, then that’s exactly what can happen.

I already had a feeling that a match like that was possible. Obviously, when you concede five goals away from home, the semi-final is normally over. But we scored four and could’ve scored one, two, even three more.

We know now: the second leg is at home and we have to win. We do that often there and with the support of our fans, the belief is certainly there. Overall we always had the feeling we could be dangerous.
