Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany on Friday compared his side’s current duel with Bayer Leverkusen to the Manchester City-Liverpool Premier League battles of his playing days.
MUNICH, Germany : Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich's busy match schedule should have no impact on their performance in Saturday's big match at champions Bayer Leverkusen, coach Vincent Kompany said on Friday.
Defending champions Bayer Leverkusen host Bayern Munich on Saturday needing a "perfect day" to defeat the Bavarian giants and keep the Bundesliga title race alive. Bayern come to Leverkusen with an eight-point lead at the top of the table. Both sides have only lost once in the league this season but Leverkusen have been let down by their inability to win close games, with seven draws compared to Bayern's three. Stung by failing to win a title last year, Vincent Kompany's Bayern are in ominous form, having won seven league games in a row.
Ex-Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany has revealed that he could have, potentially, signed for rivals Manchester United instead during his playing days.
Harry Kane was on target as Bayern Munich beat Celtic 2-1 in Glasgow in the first leg of their Champions League play-off on Wednesday, while there were also wins for Benfica, Feyenoord and Club Brugge. Bayern are hoping to go all the way to this season's final, which will be played at their own Allianz Arena in Munich on May 31. They threatened to run riot against the Scottish champions at Celtic Park as they dominated the first half and took the lead just before the interval thanks to a superb Michael Olise strike.
Vincent Kompany saluted Bayern Munich's composure and ignored the "crazy" atmosphere at Celtic to seize control of the Champions League play-off round with a 2-1 win in the first leg on Wednesday. Bayern boss Kompany was concerned about the potential for Celtic to be fuelled by the raucous 60,000 sell-out crowd in Glasgow. But the Bundesliga leaders produced a mature display that took the sting out of the Celtic roar for long periods. Michael Olise's thunderous drive into the roof of the net from 15 yards put Bayern ahead on the stroke of half-time.
GLASGOW: Bayern Munich took a major step toward the Champions League last 16 as Michael Olize’s thunderbolt and Harry Kane’s clinical finish secured a 2-1 win at Celtic in the play-off round first leg on Wednesday.
GLASGOW : Bayern Munich must be wary of Celtic's winning mentality ahead of Wednesday's Champions League playoff first leg in Glasgow, coach Vincent Kompany said on Tuesday.
