Kompany urges humility after PSG win: "Don't buy into the hype…" | OneFootball

With their 2-1 victory at Paris Saint-Germain, FC Bayern not only made a strong statement in the Champions League, but also celebrated their 16th consecutive competitive win. Despite this impressive run, coach Vincent Kompany remains calm—and sends a clear message to his team.

At the press conference after the win at the Parc des Princes in Paris, the Bayern coach made it clear that he has no time for euphoria or arrogance: “I always tell my players: If there’s hype, please don’t believe it—you’re not that good. And if you lose a game or put in a poor performance, don’t believe you’re bad—you’re not that bad.”

Even after 16 wins in a row, Kompany’s motto remains the same: “Now we’ve won 16. But starting tomorrow, we’re back to zero and have to win the next game.”

Kompany emphasized that while he appreciates his team’s strong form, he also keeps a realistic perspective on the season: “We’ve picked up three points, that’s good. But no one wins trophies in November. We have to stay calm and focus on the next game.”

The Belgian highlighted that his team has responded confidently to a wide range of challenges in recent weeks—a sign of maturity and unity: “Recently, we’ve been in different situations and we’ve handled them. On Saturday, we rotated heavily and the guys stepped up; today, we had to defend with ten men for 45 minutes—and we were there. That gives us a lot of confidence.”

With this mix of humility, discipline, and self-confidence, Kompany manages to keep FC Bayern on track. While fans and experts are already dreaming of the Champions League trophy, the coach remains steadfast—and reminds his team what really matters: the next win.
