Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany (39) spoke to DAZN ahead of the eagerly-awaited clash with Paris Saint-Germain. The former defender stressed the importance of recovery and collective progress ahead of this decisive duel.
Kompany “We’re all making progress
“We’re all making progress. That’s the job of a coach and a player. The most important thing is to rest, recover and use every day to regain our energy. The best teams compete in the knockout format.“
Since winning the European title, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) has become a target for all its rivals. Their status as European champions motivates every club to dream of toppling the reigning kings. For the Parisians, this constant pressure has become a driving force, pushing them to maintain a high level of standards and ambition, as evidenced by their declared desire to achieve a historic season.
But this desire is not exclusive to PSG: every major encounter between two European giants is marked by a fascinating uncertainty, where everything can be turned on its head by a detail, a moment of genius or a mistake. In this kind of confrontation, it’s impossible to pick a favorite, so much so that the dynamics of the match, the management of pressure and the key moments can tip the balance one way or the other. This mixture of pride, challenge and uncertainty feeds the magic of these top-of-the-table clashes, where each club wants to write its own legend by toppling the champion.
