Vincent Kompany has analyzed Bayern Munich’s 4-1 defeat to Barcelona, ​​highlighting his team’s inability to handle the crucial moments of the match. The coach remains realistic and hopes to learn lessons from it.

Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich suffered a crushing defeat against FC Barcelona (1-4) on Wednesday evening in the Champions League. The Belgian coach, despite the frustration, took responsibility by recognizing that his team was not up to the task in crucial moments.

A difficult match to digest

“We must learn lessons from this match,”

he declared, pointing out Bayern’s inability to contain Barça’s rapid attacks, notably those of Raphinha, author of a hat-trick. Kompany admitted Bayern reacted well after the opening goal, but the match turned around late in the first half.

“We had the feeling that the match could have gone in our favor,” he regretted. However, defensive errors and a lack of solutions against the Catalan attackers sealed their fate. The coach of the Bavarian club made several changes, but to no avail.
