"I know that never has a team managed to come back after such a result. But a second leg is always more difficult, especially as a coach, you realize how important it is to stay focused. The first leg is over. This is a club that never wants to lose. And the biggest guarantee for a good performance is that I'm sure the players know that."
"It's very difficult to predict how they'll approach the game. Only the opposing coach can answer that. After our first leg, they played a very tough game in Milan and achieved a very good result. They were solid, dangerous, and very unpleasant to face against Inter. Against us, however, they were rather atypical - they're not a team that concedes many goals."
"We've never had fewer fans before. Our priority is that everyone arrives and returns home safe. The fans who make the effort to come should also watch a proper game. That's our plan."
Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich's head coach, addresses the upcoming second-leg match against Atalanta with cautious optimism despite the team's first-leg result. He acknowledges that no team has successfully overcome such a deficit historically, yet emphasizes the importance of maintaining focus and preparation. Kompany notes Atalanta's inconsistent performance against Bayern compared to their strong showings against other opponents like Inter Milan. He expresses confidence in his players' understanding of the club's expectations and their willingness to sacrifice for victory. Kompany plans to watch the Manchester City versus Real Madrid Champions League match during the international break and prioritizes fan safety amid transit strikes affecting attendance.
