Bayern Munich delivered a stunning performance in Madrid on Tuesday, securing a 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash. While the win has set the stage for an exciting return leg, Bayern’s manager Vincent Kompany is already looking ahead to the next challenge.

Vincent Kompany (Bayern Munich head coach, after the 2-1 win over Real Madrid): «We’re naturally pleased with this result. A victory at the Santiago Bernabéu is always significant—it’s an achievement we can build on. Of course, we respect Real Madrid; their players showed why they’re a top team today. They created several clear chances and were dangerous throughout the match.»

He continued, «But what stood out was our own attacking threat. The team has earned the right to aim for victory in every game this season, based on our consistent performances. In the second leg next week, we’ll go all out to secure our place in the semi-finals.»
