Bayern march on in Champions League, Kompany denies favourites tag | OneFootball

FC Bayern is currently unstoppable. Whether it’s the Bundesliga, the Cup, or the Champions League. After the 3-1 opening win against Chelsea FC, the Munich team followed up directly on Tuesday evening and steamrolled Pafos FC with a 5-1 victory. Bayern coach Vincent Kompany was satisfied, but at the same time put the brakes on any euphoria.

With the 5-1 away win at Pafos FC, FC Bayern has made a perfect start to the Champions League season. However, coach Vincent Kompany urged caution after the clear result.

At first glance, it was a clear-cut affair: Kane, Guerreiro, Jackson, and Olise secured the second win in the second group match. But Kompany didn’t want to overrate the success: “It looked easy, but it was by no means so. We won, the result was emphatic, but I am sure that Pafos will be a tough opponent, especially at home,” was his verdict after the match.

The Belgian particularly pointed to the phase after the break: “In the second half, we had to fight and work hard to stabilize the game. Then we became more and more dangerous again. I am sure that Paphos will gain good experience in the Champions League.”

Despite the flawless record with six points from two games and top of the table in the Champions League, the Bayern coach remains realistic. When asked about a possible triumph in Europe’s top competition, Kompany said: “Before the first game, I made it very clear that it is our dream to be here and to have a chance to win. Winning the Champions League is very difficult. But now we are in the middle of the competition and have to focus on simply winning the next game.”

While euphoria in Munich continues to grow after the strong start to the season, Kompany is deliberately relying on humility and clear focus – an approach that has served his team very well so far.
