24.10.2024 - 16:47 manchestereveningnews.co.uk

Despite a heavy defeat vs Barcelona, Bayern Munich's chief Max Eberl has reaffirmed the club's faith in manager, Manchester City hero Vincent Kompany.

The Bundesliga side - usually strong in the group stages of the competition - were taught a tough lesson by the Catalan giants, now under the guidance of their former manager Hansi Flick.

Barcelona netted four times against shell-shocked Bayern. This marked Kompany's second defeat, in three European games as manager, putting Bayern under pressure in the competition.
