'Motivation for the future' - Bayern Munich's Vincent Kompany finds silver lining in Club World Cup loss to PSG
Briefly

Bayern Munich lost 2-0 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Club World Cup, raising concerns about Jamal Musiala's injury. Head coach Vincent Kompany noted that despite the loss, the team showcased a performance conducive to future motivation and improvement. He indicated that the squad had opportunities to score but failed to capitalize, particularly after PSG was reduced to ten players. Kompany acknowledged both individual player struggles and cohesion issues within the backline, signaling the need for adjustments for the remainder of the season and beyond.
"For me, such situations increase the motivation for the future. We won't go into the dressing room and say that the guys didn't perform. The performance was exactly what we needed against this PSG team, but we couldn't manage to reward ourselves."
"Yes, the effort can be considered a building block in some respects for the season, but there are changes that will have to be made before anyone can start thinking about just how high the hopes should be for the 2025/26 campaign."
