Kane and Urbig hail Bayern mentality after late win in Eindhoven | OneFootball

Bayern Munich signed off the Champions League league phase with a dramatic 2-1 victory away at PSV Eindhoven and the post-match reactions from the players reflected both pride and belief in what this team is building under coach Vincent Kompany.

After a demanding European campaign, the late winner from Harry Kane and a standout display from Man of the Match Jonas Urbig summed up Bayern’s character on the night.

Kane, who struck decisively late on to seal the win, placed the result firmly in the wider context of Bayern’s Champions League journey so far: “Seven wins out of eight just shows the type of team we are,” the striker said, pointing to what he described as the toughest group of the competition. Away trips to PSG and Arsenal, Chelsea at home and the challenge of Eindhoven meant Bayern were constantly tested. For Kane, the way Bayern handled those occasions was the biggest takeaway. “We had to do it the hard way,” he added, giving credit to the entire squad for consistently rising to the occasion.

While Kane delivered the decisive moment, Jonas Urbig was the foundation of Bayern’s success in the Netherlands. The goalkeeper highlighted the work done away from the spotlight. According to Urbig, Bayern’s edge came from their intensity without the ball. “The key to this win was that we kept going and engaged in every challenge, fighting for the second balls,” he explained, stressing how important that approach was in keeping PSV under constant pressure.

Urbig also drew attention to Bayern’s in-game management, particularly the impact of the substitutions late on. Fresh legs helped stretch the game and exploit the spaces that opened up, allowing Bayern to maintain control until Kane’s late strike decided the contest. More broadly, the keeper underlined Bayern’s versatility, noting that the team can both match technically strong opponents like PSG and Chelsea and win physical battles such as the one in Eindhoven.

The reactions from Kane and Urbig painted a clear picture: this was more than just a late winner in the final league-phase match. It was another example of Bayern Munich’s resilience, adaptability and collective belief after difficult games like against Union St. Gilloises and FC Augsburg - qualities that now travel with them into the knockout rounds of the Champions League.
