Kompany Seeks First Win Over Leverkusen as Bayern Face Champions League Test

Posted : 04 March 2025

 Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany is determined to break his team's winless streak against Bayer Leverkusen as they face off in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash on Wednesday. Despite Bayern drawing twice and losing once to Xabi Alonso's side this season, Kompany remains optimistic about finding the right solutions to secure victory.

 

 Speaking ahead of the match, he emphasized that the outcome will hinge on fine margins, with both teams boasting exceptional individual talent capable of shaping the game. While tactical planning is crucial, he acknowledged that ultimately, the players will decide the contest on the pitch.

 

Under Alonso, Leverkusen have posed a persistent challenge for Bayern, remaining unbeaten in their last six meetings. The three encounters this season have each unfolded differently, but Kompany noted they all demanded intense effort from both sides.

 

Their most recent clash on February 15 saw Leverkusen dominate possession but fail to convert their superiority into a victory, resulting in a goalless draw. Despite Bayern currently holding an eight-point lead over Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, the Champions League presents a different challenge, where past form may not necessarily dictate the outcome.

 

Kompany stressed that Bayern will not approach the match with a mindset of pacing themselves for the second leg, but rather as an opportunity to assert their dominance at home. While acknowledging that the two-legged format allows room for adjustments, he highlighted the importance of seizing the moment in front of their fans.

 

He expressed confidence in his team’s ability to counter Leverkusen’s strengths and deliver a performance that could set the tone for the tie. With Bayern playing on home soil, Kompany believes they have the chance to create something special before heading into the decisive return fixture.
