Kompany Attributes Bayern Munich's Champions League Exit to Injuries

Bayern Munich were eliminated from the Champions League quarter-finals by Inter Milan after a 4-3 aggregate loss, with injuries to key players proving pivotal. Manager Vincent Kompany emphasized that the absence of several important squad members, including Hiroki Ito, Dayot Upamecano, Jamal Musiala, and Manuel Neuer, hampered their performance across both legs. Despite these setbacks, Kompany praised his team's positive attitude and noted that Bayern created more scoring chances than Inter, leaving him with mixed emotions about the outcome. He also highlighted that the demanding match schedule and long travel contributed to the injury crisis. Ultimately, Bayern's performance was strong but not enough to secure a spot in the final at their home stadium, Allianz Arena. Kompany concluded that while the team did enough to deserve a win, the harsh reality is their Champions League campaign has ended.
