Kompany emphasized that missing out on a Champions League final spot will be a huge motivation.

Bayern Munich, after trailing, were eliminated 5-6 on aggregate by defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in the second leg of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League semi-final, thanks to a goal from Harry Kane. Vincent Kompany stated that it was a difficult result to accept, but also said that the many opportunities ahead would be a huge motivation for himself and the team.

In the 3rd minute, Kvalatschlia passed the ball back from the penalty area, and Dembele slotted it home, giving Paris Saint-Germain a dream start, 1-0.

In stoppage time of the second half, Alphonso Davies played a through ball to Kane, who turned and fired a shot into the net, helping Bayern Munich equalize the score at 1-1.

Ultimately, Bayern Munich drew 1-1 with Paris Saint-Germain at home, but were still eliminated by Enrique's team with an aggregate score of 5-6 over two legs.

Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany said, "It's a hard-to-accept result. We were eliminated by a narrow margin. We were evenly matched with Paris Saint-Germain, and these kinds of games are often decided by the details. We played very well in the first half. I think we were the better team and entered our areas where we are good at creating threats many times, but Paris Saint-Germain did a very good job defending the crosses and were very proactive."

"Although we entered the danger zone, they never allowed us to get a shot on goal in the crucial moments. The team once again showed plenty of energy, which is always the foundation of everything. It's a pity that we didn't make it to the final."

Kompany continued, "We must admit that we faced a strong team. For us, the Champions League season is over, but there will be many more moments and opportunities like this in the future, and that will be a huge motivation for me."

"Both sides have shown a very high level of play. Paris Saint-Germain is extremely strong, and they have probably been the best team in Europe for the past two years. We have played against them five times, winning two, losing two, and drawing one. We have tried everything, I must say. Congratulations to Paris Saint-Germain, but we will be back to challenge them again."

On the other hand, Bayern Munich, who have already secured the Bundesliga title, will travel to Berlin this month for the German Cup final against Stuttgart.

Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane said, "It's tough, but we have plenty of opportunities to reach the final. Right now, all my focus is on the German Cup final, where we still have a chance to achieve a double."
