Kompany urges Bayern to bounce back after Feyenoord defeat

Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has urged his players to deliver a winning performance when the Bundesliga leaders face Freiburg on Saturday.

Kompany’s side had fallen to a 3-0 defeat to Feyenoord in the Champions League in the midweek – a result that dented their chances of a top eight finish in the league phase and securing an automatic spot in the last 16.

But the Bavarians have been in excellent form domestically and are four points clear at the top of the German top flight, with defending champions Bayer Leverkusen in second place.

And the Belgian tactician is hopeful his side can build on that momentum at the weekend.

“It is good that we play so soon again,” Kompany said ahead of their return to Bundesliga action.

“It is something we hoped for. We lost that game, that is a fact. I think it is important if you want to be at the very top to put in the work. Hopefully, the answer will come on the pitch and that is the most important thing.”

Their 45-point haul is their best in the league in eight years at this point and their 56 goals in 18 matches has only been bettered by one side in Bundesliga history – Bayern themselves during the 2021-22 campaign, when they scored a goal more.

Furthermore, they have also not lost any of their last 17 Bundesliga games against Freiburg, winning 12 and drawing four matches during that period.
