Vincent Kompany keeps proving his exceptional managerial talent as Bayern Munich secured a 2-1 victory over PSG at Parc des Princes despite being one player short in the second half.
In the early hours of November 5 (Vietnam time), Bayern Munich triumphed 2-1 against Paris Saint-Germain in an emotionally charged Champions League match. Once again, the greatest credit goes to coach Vincent Kompany, who is transforming the Bavarians into a team both resilient and disciplined to a remarkable degree.
After the match, Kompany proudly spoke about his players' fighting spirit: "The most important thing is that we hope Hakimi recovers soon. Today was a match full of effort and emotion—that’s exactly what we felt after the game. In the end, we overcame it together. I also want the whole team to enjoy themselves even when defending. We’ve trained that a lot, so it’s no surprise they performed so well."
The Belgian tactician displayed a modern yet pragmatic football philosophy, where Bayern can attack explosively and defend firmly when needed. Even though Luis Diaz scored twice and was sent off in the first half, the Bavarian side stood strong under intense pressure from PSG throughout the second half, extending their impressive winning streak since the season began.
Kompany doesn't rely on fancy words. He lets his players speak through their spirit and discipline. Captain Manuel Neuer, named UEFA's Man of the Match, shared: "We showed in the first half who played better. Playing with 10 men is never easy, and the second half was a real battle. But overall, we did well."
Joshua Kimmich agreed, commenting on the team's spirit: "We are at the top of the group and will face Arsenal in the next round. That will again show our standing. But today, the whole team played excellently, especially in the first half."
The victory on French soil allows Kompany’s Bayern Munich to maintain their lead in the group and affirm their status as strong contenders for the Champions League title. With their current dominant form, the question arises: is Vincent Kompany creating a new era at Allianz Arena?
