Bayern Munich surrendered to Feyenoord last night. Vincent Kompany admitted that the Dutch deserved their victory.
It’s rare enough to be underlined: three well-known names in Belgian football started in a foreign team in the Champions League. Bart Nieuwkoop (ex-Union), Calvin Stengs (ex-Antwerp) and Anis Hadj Moussa (ex-Patro Eisden, Olympic Charleroi) played a dirty trick on Bayern Munich with this 3-0 victory.
And again, we must add coach Brian Priske (the former Antwerp coach still remains threatened despite the victory) and Ayase Ueda, who played the supersubs to make the 3-0. Timon Wellenreuther remained on the bench, his competitor Justin Bijlow put in a great game to disgust Bayern. The visitors attempted 30 shots, had the ball for 80% of the match but had to return empty-handed.
Vincent Kompany did not look for excuses at the press conference: “My first analysis will be very simple: Feyenoord was better” he admits, despite all the chances created by his team (2.42 cumulative expected goals).
-Bayern still too fragile behind
“Of course, I have the feeling that we could have scored two or three times. But when we see their goals, we also have to recognize that they were able to put us under pressure from the start of the match. I don’t want to not look for excuses,” Kompany continues.
Vince The Prince wants to learn from this defeat: “The most important thing is to get back to our best level in the next match. We have already won a lot this season, we must be able to do it again.” However, the defeat risks leaving traces for the rest of the season. Especially since even in the event of victory on the last day against the Slavic Bratislavathe team will not be guaranteed to return to the top 8 and may therefore have to go through the play-offs.
