Bayern Munich put in a performance against Arsenal that left fans disappointed, especially considering the hype coming into this game. Had they managed to convert their chances, Bayern could have easily
been a goal up come the end of the first half, but any hope for a goal in the second was quickly shot down as Arsenal emerged guns blazing. What followed was a lesson that Bayern has not had to learn up till this point in the season — how to lose.
Vincent Kompany took the loss on the chin, accepting the defeat. However, the Belgian manager is already eager for a rematch.
“I’d love to play them again as soon as possible,” said Kompany while giving his post-match thoughts in an interview with TNT Sports (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). “Hopefully in the latter stages with a good amount of learning from this game.”
Truth be told, Arsenal were by far the better side. Arteta’s side have now set the benchmark for all European teams to chase and Bayern are off the mark — and that is okay. There are valuable lessons to learn from defeat, especially when your opponent was better than you.
Kompany’s Bayern will be champing at the bit for a chance at revenge, but they should not discount the importance of going back to the drawing board in order to figure out what went wrong for a change.
