Bayern Munich, in a tale of two halves, beat RB Leipzig 5-1 in the opening fixture of the Rückrunde.
The first half featured a goal in the 20th minute from Leipzig striker Raul Cardoso and a strongly dominant
performance from the home side. However, the second half featured a dramatic Bayern comeback, ending in a 5-1 win.
Speaking on the game, manager Vincent Kompany delivers due praise to RB Leipzig for their performance.
“Leipzig caused us many problems in the first half. They were clearly the better side. It felt like they were twice as good as we were,” he said, via @iMiaSanMia. “We lost many duels, they won the ball in midfield, they did well over the wings,” he further praised.
And then, in true fanboy style, Vincent Kompany gushes over the team that was Bayern in the second half. “But the second half – my God!”
Sir, that is not a manager speaking — that sounds a man who probably sleeps in his Thomas Müller farewell jersey.
He further went on. “The boys delivered. We ran 6 kilometers more. It was old school mentality: winning duels, running, going forward.”
“We weren’t afraid and really went for it,” he declared.
Vinny, my man.
