Coach Kompany helps Bayern achieve a milestone against Real after a quarter century

Coach Vincent Kompany continues to showcase his management at Bayern Munich as he assists the club in ending their losing streak against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Bayern Munich currently holds a temporary advantage in the race for a Champions League semifinal spot, as they excellently secured a victory right at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid in the quarter-final first leg

With this result, Coach Vincent Kompany has created a memorable milestone both in his career and in the history of "The Bavarian Giants." Specifically, Kompany has become the first strategist to end Bayern's victory drought lasting exactly 25 years at the Bernabeu sanctuary, dating back to the 2000/01 season.

In May 2001, Bayern Munich under Coach Ottmar Hitzfeld secured a 1-0 victory against the star-studded lineup of the Royal Club at that time, thereby paving the way for the team to reach the final and claim the championship after defeating Valencia in a penalty shootout.

Returning to the present, Kompany appears extremely satisfied with the team's performance against the club with the most achievements in Champions League history.

He stated: "The feeling at this moment is quite positive. We have done what is necessary to gain an advantage for our goal of progressing. Everything feels like only the first half has concluded, so there are no excessive celebrations; everything remains measured...

The most crucial factor is still quality. Of course, spirit and composure are also essential, but when facing such a strong opponent, you must have top-tier players. Fortunately, our key players are in good form, and that provides opportunities. However, we need to continue demonstrating that in the next match."

Under the guidance of the tactically astute Coach Vincent Kompany, Bayern played a first half full of composure and took the lead thanks to Luis Diaz's precise strike in the 41st minute.

Early in the second half, Harry Kane continued to bring sorrow to the Spanish Royal Club by scoring a second goal to widen the gap. Although Kylian Mbappe reduced the deficit to 1-2 in the 74th minute, the excellence of veteran Manuel Neuer in goal preserved the fragile advantage for the visiting team.

At 2:00 AM on April 16 (Vietnam time), "The Bavarian Giants" will host Real Madrid in the quarter-final return leg at the Allianz Arena.
