Vincent Kompany addresses Bayern Munich criticism ahead of PSG clash | OneFootball

After failing to beat Bayer Leverkusen, Aston Villa, Eintracht Frankfurt or Barcelona this season, Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany has addressed criticism that the Rekordmeister haven’t won a ‘big game’ yet ahead of tomorrow’s clash against Paris Saint-Germain.

At the halfway point in the revamped Champions League format, Bayern Munich find themselves down in 17th with just six points from four games. Should they finish between ninth and 24th, Kompany’s side will enter a playoff system for a place in the Round of 16.

Despite wins against St. Pauli (1-0) and Augsburg (3-0) in their last two Bundesliga games, performances have been less than optimal and after a 1-0 win over Benfica in their last Champions League fixture, fans will be hoping for an improvement against a PSG side that are also enduring a difficult European campaign.

Bayern Munich’s game against PSG ‘a big opportunity’ for the Rekordmeister

After shipping four goals against Barcelona, Bayern Munich have kept six consecutive clean sheets. Addressing the criticism that they can’t win a ‘big game’ despite their recent good form in the Bundesliga, Kompany said: “Criticism doesn’t matter to me, it never mattered and won’t in the future.

“What’s important is how the team lives and improves, how each individual player develops, even though they’re already top players. We don’t differentiate between games. All games aren’t easy.”

Speaking in Monday’s press conference, Kompany added: “For us, there’s a big opportunity to show something for our fans tomorrow. But the mentality always has to be the same, regardless of the opponent. Hopefully our fans can go home tomorrow with a good feeling.”
