PSG/Bayern Munich – Kompany on ‘the toughest challenge there is’

Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich coach, spoke at a press conference on Tuesday evening after qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals thanks to a 4-3 win over Real Madrid (6-4 on aggregate). He was asked about the upcoming matches against Paris Saint-Germain (April 28 at the Parc des Princes and May 6 at the Allianz Arena).

Kompany: “the belief that we can do it”

Is PSG a tougher opponent to face than Real Madrid? There are only difficult matches, and for now we do not have the luxury of deciding whether Paris are more complicated than Real Madrid. I think it is simply the toughest challenge there is, and we will absolutely have to give everything once again to win these matches. But the belief that we can do it is obviously very much there.”

You can always try to compare teams and wonder whether it will be more difficult for Bayern Munich. Kompany does not want to get too caught up in those comparisons, and that is logical. There is no point in talking a team down, it could only work against him. What is clear is that he has a major challenge ahead of him with two matches against PSG for a place in the Champions League final.

Of course, it will also be a very difficult objective for Paris to achieve. That is normal at this stage of the competition, especially with two of the most exciting teams of the season facing each other. Each side will believe in its chances and give everything, while knowing that qualification can never be guaranteed.
