Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany admitted that narrow margins denied his team a place in the UEFA Champions League final following their semi-final elimination by Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, May 6.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The German side played out a 1-1 draw at the Allianz Arena but were knocked out 6-5 on aggregate after suffering a 5-4 defeat in the first leg in Paris.

Speaking after the match, a disappointed Kompany said the contest was decided by small details, while also refusing to blame his players for the exit.

“It’s obviously tough to take; we lost narrowly. We matched PSG, these games are decided by small details,” he said.

Bayern started the game brightly and created several dangerous moments in the opening half, putting PSG under sustained pressure for long periods.

The Bundesliga giants consistently found space in wide areas and committed numbers forward, but they were unable to convert their attacking play into decisive goals.

“Our first half was good, I felt that we were the better team and often got into the areas where we are dangerous, but PSG defended the crosses very well,” Kompany added.

He praised PSG manager Luis Enrique’s side for their defensive organisation, noting that despite Bayern’s attacking efforts, the French champions remained disciplined and prevented them from getting crucial final shots away.

“They were very active. Although we got into dangerous situations, they made sure we didn’t get the final shot off. The Champions League is over for us for now,” he said.

The defeat brings Bayern’s European campaign to an end, with focus now expected to shift to domestic objectives as the club begins preparations for next season.
