PSG v Bayern Munich – Kompany cut off from the team during match

Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich’s coach, is the only one suspended for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final this Tuesday night at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 9pm, live on Canal+) against Paris Saint-Germain (second leg on May 6). It is very different from the absence of a player, but UEFA’s rules, explained by Bild and summarized by Touchline, mean there can be a real impact.

Kompany will still travel with the team to the stadium, arriving on the team bus around 90 minutes before kick-off. Once the bus arrives, he will have to separate from the players immediately and will not be allowed to enter the dressing room. He will be able to take part in media duties, provided he has no contact whatsoever with the team. During the match, he will watch from a private box, where a UEFA official will be present to ensure the suspension rules are respected. Any form of communication by mobile phone is strictly prohibited, a rule UEFA has enforced firmly in past cases. »

While suspended coaches are sometimes seen ending up fairly close to the dugout or easily in contact with assistants by phone, there are also clear restrictions. These begin even before reaching the dressing room.

Kompany will have no further contact with his group once he gets off the bus, a rare cut-off that could have an impact. Even so, it should be noted that the game plan is well known to the players and assistant coaches. Any adjustment that may be needed could be a little complicated to put in place.
