You have to take it step by step to achieve big goals. I look up to Rodri [Hernandez Cascante] a bit in that respect; for me, he was one of the best for a long time. Training and playing alongside players like Joshua Kimmich, [Harry] Kane, and others every day is unique.
I expect Dortmund to put on the pressure and keep the game wide open with lots of energy - they're capable of that, they have the ability to really push. But whether that will decide the game tomorrow, I don't know. From our perspective, things are clearer: we will definitely give it our all, I can say that right now.
Marcel Desailly. You probably know him from a legend card on FIFA or something. He was my idol, a very strong defender. He won the World Cup with France. He was a good example.
It is always entertaining to learn small personal details about figures on the touchline, and Vincent Kompany recently offered one that fans might not have expected. The Bayern Munich coach revealed that his favorite video game is Fortnite, a choice that adds a surprisingly relatable layer to his intense, detail-driven public image. Football managers are often viewed solely through tactics boards, press conferences, and matchday pressure, so hearing about a pastime like gaming humanizes the role.
Vincent Kompany has maintained consistency in his communication during his time at Bayern Munich. He has always been clear of what he expects of his players and has communicated so to the media- mantras such as "work hard and I will be happy" or "when there's hype please don't believe it, you're not that good. And when you lose a game or you have a bad performance, don't believe that you're bad, you're not that bad" come to mind immediately. This consistency is also the case with 17-year-old Lennart Karl, who Kompany has always insisted should be able to enjoy matches while other players take on the responsibility.
The Spaniard has a contract at the Etihad Stadium until 2027, but according to The Telegraph, there is a growing feeling that this could be Guardiola's final season at the club. While Pep has honoured contracts in every club he has managed, the possibility of him leaving at the end of the season cannot be ruled out. The report claims that Man City are planning a three-man shortlist with former Real Madrid boss Xabi Alonso leading the way.
The Dutch side lost 3-0 to Newcastle United in their previous Champions League game and need a strong result against Bayern. Eindhoven have picked up two wins, two draws and suffered three defeats in their seven matches in this competition, collecting eight points. They are 22nd in the table, and need a win against Bayern, who have won six of their seven matches in this competition so far.
Eberl had a mixed two years in his tenure. His first big task was finding a successor to Thomas Tuchel. Bayern missed out on several first-choice options. Eberl eventually went ahead by hiring Vincent Kompany as the new head coach of Bayern. The Belgian head coach hit the ground running at Die Roten, guiding the club to a Bundesliga title. Eberl has also done well with several transfers like Michael Olise, Luis Diaz, and Jonathan Tah.
Kompany can keep up with the trend; wide-legged trousers like these are extremely popular and can be seen on all the catwalks. He fits the style perfectly, he's very contemporary. His looks, his status - everything about Kompany's style just fits. Kompany looks like he could still play himself. He gives the impression that, in terms of style, personality, and understanding of football, he's completely on the same wavelength as his players. He's not like their dad, but like a big brother to them.
