In the post-match interview (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Vincent Kompany underlined the threat of the Bayern attack. “It was a very emotional game. We had a lot of possession and always felt we could score,” said Kompany. Being the most anticipated tie of the tournament and some demons to bust, this game was as emotional for the club as it was for its fans.

Mentality first, quality next
Champions leagues nights against Madrid wake the beast in them. No matter their form, the UCL version of Los Blancos are a dangerous opponent for any team. This tie too required Bayern to stay in it mentally, because that is where you win or lose against Real Madrid. The result on the pitch just follows the battle in the mind. Neuer’s mistake and conceding early were moments to rue. However, moving on from them and continuing to put faith in your ability until the final whistle is blown was the gamechanging course of action.
Bayern did just that. They stuck to their plan and kept their heads in the game long enough for the frustrated Real players to crack under pressure. Camavinga and the defenders were the first with unnecessary shoves despite riding on yellow cards. Madrid kept losing its mind past the 80th minute and for a change, Bayern did not let any anxiety take the game away from them. “But Real Madrid remain Real Madrid. They have very quick players and are always a threat. The boys were mentally strong today to recover from setbacks”, remarked Kompany.
A godsend homecrowd
The coach mentioned the phenomenal support from the home fans who where vocally present throughout the game. They had faith even after the mistakes and transferred it to their players on the pitch. Unmatched energy and unrivalled support from the fans! “The fans helped us as well. We stayed calm and always felt that our moment would come. The boys deserved this win,” said Kompany.
