One of yesterday’s loudest defeats in the Champions League was that of Bayern Munichwho even boasted an unbeaten streak of 2562 days in the competition. In fact, the last defeat dates back to 7 September 2017, in Paris Saint-Germain 3-0 Bayern Munich, before Wednesday evening againstAston Villa by Unai Emery.
The Spanish coach gave the young coach a lesson Die Roten, Vincent Kompanywho following the 1-0 knockout (signed by Duran) spoke at the end of the match to the microphones of TNT Sports to comment on the final outcome: “We missed some great opportunities and they scored. We have to learn some lessons from this,” began the 38-year-old Belgian.
A man of Villains in particular it put Bayern’s back pack in serious difficulty: “Ollie Watkins has many qualities to mention, but one of his is that of dividing the two centre-backs,” guaranteed the former City defender. Sliding once again on the analysis of the match: “When we have the ball we are dangerous, but they (Aston Villa, ed.) are a strong team, it’s not an easy place”, in fact during the season the English team only lost against Arsenal in the league.
But for Kompany not everything should be thrown away: “It wasn’t a bad performance. It’s the same job everywhere. It’s a privilege, there’s a lot of history. You work with the best players, but in the end I can’t score the goals.” Finally, a joke about the work of Kane, who he had met personally in the past in the Premier League: “Obviously I knew Kane from playing against him, but he evolved. I don’t think he ever stood still.”
