PSG v Bayern Munich: Stanisic doesn't mince words after defeat | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich faced off this Tuesday at the Parc des Princes in the first leg of the 2025-2026 Champions League semifinal (second leg on Wednesday, May 6). A match that ended in a 5-4 win for Paris (PSG/Bayern Munich highlights). After the match, German team coach Vincent Kompany spoke to CBS Sports Golazo.

Stanisic “It wasn’t our best match, but we’re going home knowing that anything is possible.”

What are your feelings after the defeat?

It was the kind of match where everything turns on small moments; we could have been ahead. But we have to congratulate PSG, who were incredible offensively at times. They managed to score from their chances. But the way we came back to make it 5-2 was far from simple. I’m very proud of the team. It wasn’t our best match, but we’re going home knowing that anything is possible.

Stanisic “We didn’t give up, and it could have been 5-5 or 5-6.”

You were physically stronger, and mentally are you in a better place for the second leg?

If you say so, it may be true. You saw it, after the 5-2 they celebrated as if it were over. We didn’t give up, and it could have been 5-5 or 5-6. There were moments when we could have scored by handling the situation better. There may be some truth in what you’re saying. Anything will be possible at home. It will be a great match.

Olise and Diaz, what’s it like in training against them?

It’s clearly difficult one-on-one, it’s a great challenge. I don’t know any defender who wins all his duels. You have to accept it and congratulate the opponent. They’re not there for nothing. We do our best to defend. It’s very hard over the course of a match. As against PSG, we know their qualities. We do our best. But sometimes, they just need a little moment. That’s what happened tonight.
