Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is only in his first season with the club, but he knows just how much of a juggernaut the club can be. For Kompany, he referred back to his playing days in communicating how Bayern Munich’s opponents can sometimes feel.
“If you play against Bayern, it has to represent an almost impossible mission. I’m not saying it’s going to happen straight away, I’m not saying that’s where we are right now, but when I played against the very best Bayern teams, they could give you that feeling. It’s not like this every year, but some teams have given you that feeling and that’s what you remember. For us, it’s the goal to come back as quickly as possible to give that feeling to many opponents,” Kompany UEFA.com (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “The aims are very simple. You always want the highest level. For us, whenever we speak about any game, any trophy, it’s always about trying to win the competition, and the Champions League is obviously the most difficult one. With the teams who have won it in recent years, there are a few who will obviously aim for the same, but it’s a special venue for the final and there is a special feeling here about the Champions League.”
