"I'm proud of the boys: the performance, the goals, the energy on the pitch. That's not a given with such a lead from the first leg. Overall it was a positive day for the club."
"It's not easy for young players to get minutes at FC Bayern. I hope they enjoy these moments. These guys have been training with us for a while, and at some point their moment comes."
Bayern Munich secured a 4-1 victory over Atalanta in the Champions League Round of 16 second leg, completing a dominant 10-2 aggregate triumph. With the tie already decided from the first leg, Bayern could have managed the match conservatively but instead continued scoring freely. Coach Vincent Kompany praised the team's performance, energy, and goal-scoring despite the comfortable lead. The match provided valuable opportunities for Bayern's youth academy players, including 16-year-old center-back Filip Pavić and 18-year-old left-back Deniz Ofli, who gained competitive minutes. Kompany emphasized the importance of these development moments for young players at the club. Bayern now advances to face Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.
