Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany praised his team’s mental resilience after they produced a remarkable comeback to defeat Real Madrid 4-3 and secure a place in the Champions League semifinals. The German champions overcame going behind three times in a dramatic encounter at the Allianz Arena.
Kompany, who was booked during the match and will miss the first leg of the semifinal against Paris Saint-Germain, said his team showed outstanding unity and determination. He highlighted their ability to remain calm under pressure while chasing a historic treble.
The Bayern coach stressed that belief and togetherness were key to the victory, noting that the players never lost faith even after conceding early. He added that the team’s experience and mentality allowed them to respond effectively to setbacks throughout the match.
Real Madrid struck first just 35 seconds into the game after a mistake by Manuel Neuer, and despite Bayern’s first-leg advantage, the visitors led 3-2 at halftime in a thrilling contest. However, Bayern stayed composed and struck late through Luis Diaz and Michael Olise to complete a 4-3 win and advance 6-4 on aggregate.
Kompany described the match as highly emotional, acknowledging Real Madrid’s attacking threat but insisting Bayern always believed they could find a way back. The result marks another milestone in his managerial career as he leads Bayern into the last four of Europe’s elite competition.
