“I think we had our moments, including some clear chances that I didn’t expect us to have. We suffered during the last ten or fifteen minutes, which caused us to lose momentum,” lamented the Belgian coach.
“Arsenal pressed with as much intensity as we did, and at those moments we were dangerous. We managed to position ourselves more often in the final third of the pitch and created two or three chances with numerical superiority,” Kompany continued.
In his conclusion, Kompany stated that they faced a top‑level opponent and that the result might be fair, although Bayern had more clear chances. He acknowledged that Arsenal also had superior phases.

Regarding Harry Kane, the match’s MVP, Kompany highlighted his special instinct to drop deep and move into other areas, complicating the defenders’ work. When Kane has time on the ball, his long and precise passes allow him to beat the defensive line and create danger.
