"You need a perfect game" – Kompany on how Bayern can overcome PSG | OneFootball

Having won all 15 of their games so far this season, Bayern Munich are in remarkable form heading into Tuesday night’s Champions League away clash with Paris Saint-Germain.

The Bavarians will be seeking revenge after a 2-0 defeat to the defending Champions League winners in the Club World Cup last summer.

But while he believes Bayern are capable of winning, head coach Vincent Kompany is fully aware of the challenge they face.

“You have to believe you can do it. You also need a perfect game, we're playing against the Champions League winners and one of the favourites. It's an extra level of difficulty away from home. We have to believe we'll get our chances,” Kompany said at his pre-match press conference on Monday evening.

Asked what impresses him about PSG, Kompany highlighted the similarities between the two teams.

“I'm really impressed by the team spirit, the ability to win the ball back and the individual quality. At PSG, it's not enough to focus on one player. PSG have always had world-class players. We also have these great qualities - that's why it's such an exciting game,” said Kompany.

“Luis Enrique (PSG's coach) said the same thing. We basically have similar prerequisites. It's not just about dominance. That's what people want to see tomorrow. We've already played each other twice, it was maximum intensity twice. If everyone is fit - which is almost everyone at PSG and us - then it will be a very interesting game.”

On what a win would mean for Bayern, Kompany added:

"For us, a win means a big step towards the top eight - the same goes for PSG. The rivalry arises when clubs meet frequently. What's more, the last few matches have been very exciting for spectators. Hopefully we'll have the game we want tomorrow. But it's difficult to predict because the individual quality of both teams is so high."
