DThey lost in three Champions League matches. Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich lost 4-1 to Barcelona on the third day of the Champions League group stage on Wednesday. In the standings, Barça has 6 points and Bayern 3. A defeat that the former Anderlecht coach puts into perspective.
At a press conference, Vincent Kompany was clear: “We are not looking for excuses. You can’t just let this defeat go, we have to learn from it and take the lessons we learn from it with us,” said the Bavarian T1.
And to return to the thread of the meeting: “For half an hour in the first half, I had the feeling that we could win. We were really well in the match and we even had control. We created a lot of chances. The match changed because of the second and third goals conceded. This is obviously not enough, but it is still too early to carry out a correct and complete analysis. Because a lot happened during the match. »
During the second goal scored by Barça, Fermin Lopez lightly pushes Kim Min-jae who cannot therefore intervene. Robert Lewandowski then concludes the action. But the referee validated Barça’s goal, Vincent Kompany added: “I clearly had a different opinion and at that moment we were the better team, but I don’t want to blame the referee either. That would be a little too easy. Halfway through we went into the locker room and we thought we’d score two or three more times. But we were perhaps a little less lively than usual and against a team like Barcelona that will be punished. Efficiency is always a theme at this level. »
With three points out of nine, Bayern must recover to secure their European future: “I have no intention of changing anything. One competition is not the same as another. There are still tough times ahead, but we are a team capable of winning it all. It was the first game where we weren’t dominant for 90 minutes. We just have to focus on the next game and we will win often,” concludes the Belgian coach.
