Vincent Kompany refused to pick his favorites to win the Champions League after Bayern Munich ease past Atalanta
"Bayern Munich thrashed Atalanta 6-1 at the New Balance Arena in the first leg, and the Bundesliga champions picked up right where they left off in the return leg, winning 4-1 on the night and 10-2 on overall aggregate, with Vincent Kompany able to make rotations and Jonas Urbig deemed fit enough to start in goal after recovering from a concussion."
"A brace from Harry Kane and goals from Lennart Karl and Luis Díaz rounded out the scoring at the Allianz Arena on a night that was routine for the German Rekordmeister, slightly easing away some of the frustrations from the weekend's controversial, drama-filled 1-1 draw at Bayer Leverkusen."
"Real Madrid is the best team in the history of the Champions League, so it'll be a nice task for us. We want to win. Both teams have so much quality and now only one of them will make it beyond the quarterfinals after the round of 16, with Bayern and Real Madrid considered current frontrunners by pundits across Europe."
Bayern Munich dominated Atalanta across two legs, winning 6-1 away in Bergamo before securing a 4-1 victory at home for a 10-2 aggregate triumph. Manager Vincent Kompany made tactical rotations for the second leg, with goalkeeper Jonas Urbig returning from a concussion. Harry Kane scored twice, with additional goals from Lennart Karl and Luis Díaz. Despite the commanding performance, Bayern conceded late goals in both matches, preventing clean sheets. The victory provided relief after a controversial 1-1 draw against Bayer Leverkusen. Bayern now faces Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals, with Kompany acknowledging both teams' quality while expressing confidence in Bayern's ambitions.
