Kompany’s fury boils over
Musiala’s injury ignites coach’s anger.
- Kompany angered by Musiala injury.
- Donnarumma’s play criticized.
- Bayern suffers 2-0 defeat to PSG.
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany was visibly furious after Jamal Musiala’s injury, and the incident cast a shadow over Bayern Munich’s 2-0 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain.
A manager’s raw emotion
Vincent Kompany stormed into the locker room after the first half of Bayern Munich’s 2-0 loss to Paris Saint-Germain, his anger directed not at his players, but at the circumstances surrounding Jamal Musiala’s injury just before the halftime whistle.
“I’ve rarely been so angry at half time, not against my players – I know there are much more important things in life, but for these guys it’s their life. Someone like Jamal lives for this. He just came back from a setback and now this happens. You feel powerless. My blood is still boiling right now, not because of the result, that’s football. But because it happened to someone that enjoys the game so much,” said Kompany, according to reports.
The play in question
**What triggered Kompany’s fury?** The incident involved an aggressive play by PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma toward Musiala, which left the Bayern attacker prone on the field. The immediate concern is the severity of Musiala’s injury, which could significantly impact Bayern Munich’s upcoming 2025/26 season.
The tackle has drawn criticism, with many questioning the necessity of such a forceful challenge in that situation.
