Benjamin Pavard: "We're ready for the game. We know the first leg wasn't good. Now we have our fans behind us and we will do everything to win the game and make it through" #UCL Image
Do you believe in the comeback?

Pavard: "We have seen in the past that such a 'remontada' is possible. We have prepared well. The opponent is not easy, but with our fans behind us, everything is possible. We will give everything and want to take our chances." Image
Pavard on Haaland: "He's a great player, he's showing that every weekend. He's one of the best strikers in the world. But we can't just focus on him, there are other good players too. It's going to be a big game tomorrow." Image
Pavard on the season so far: "We had difficult moments, we were knocked out in the Pokal. We played a good first half at City, we had good moments but didn't score. Of course we want to win all titles and would be disappointed if we were eliminated tomorrow. We'll all do our best Image
Pavard on scoring goals lately: "My role is defensive. But if I can score goals, it's good for the team. I focus mainly on defending, but if the ball falls in front of me, of course I'll try to shoot. It's important that we act as a team." Image
Pavard on Tuchel: "Things are going very well with the coach, he's a great coach, has good ideas. He's shown that with his previous teams. He's very close to his players. I don't want to compare Nagelsmann and Tuchel. I give my maximum on the pitch and with the coach who's there" Image
Pavard on his position tomorrow: "I prepare for every game the same way, whether I'm playing on the right or at centre-back" Image
Pavard on Choupo-Moting: "Choupo has had a very good season, he's physically very strong. I think he'll be back tomorrow. But it's up to the coach if he plays tomorrow. Our problem is that we have many chances but don't take them. I think he'll be a help" Image

Vincent Kompany in interview with the club's magazine #Säbener51

• One of your guiding principles is: "Be hungry or go somewhere else." What exactly defines a hungry player for you?

Kompany: "At this level, you're duty bound to give your all. You can enjoy what success brings - but you have to be prepared to make sacrifices. Hunger means always wanting more, always being prepared to do more, and to do it together. It also has nothing to do with winning. You have to be hungry when you win, lose or draw, when the sun is shining, when it's raining or snowing. It's the mindset of pushing yourself without becoming negative, out of the conviction: Only those who stick to the task make progress."Image
• Do you see this hunger above all in difficult moments?

Kompany: "Everyone experiences difficult moments. The key is not to hide away, but to use them to your advantage. Stick out your chest, search for the truth - that's what I demand. I want the group to believe in itself and its path. And the individual too. I myself never had a straight path; there were lots of ups and downs. But I've always trusted myself. I want to see the same thing from my team."
• If you look back at your first Bundesliga game - a 3-2 win against Wolfsburg - and compare it with today: What has changed the most?

Kompany: "In that first game, we were 2-1 down, came back, won 3-2 - and the substitutes made the difference. That's exactly what I want from day one to the last day: that we always believe we'll get our moment, even if things aren’t going perfectly. Everything else happened step by step. Through hard work, learning from mistakes, creating clarity for the players - and above all, maintaining calm and stability. It was always calm and stable in our dressing room, even after defeats. That has sustained us to this day. And it will continue to sustain us. If things don't go our way at times, we know how we can improve as a result."Image

Max Eberl in @SPORTBILD interview

• On his 20 months in charge so far: "If I were to draw a picture, I would say that a lot of dust was constantly being stirred up during that time, and it was essential to maintain a clear focus on what was important. In the summer of 2024, we hadn't won a title, not even the runner-up position behind Leverkusen. We didn't have a coach and, on top of that, the team was generally unhappy. Looking back on it now, the most important thing was to find a very good coach with whom we could develop long-term plans from the outset. We succeeded in doing that with Vincent Kompany, as the recent contract extension until 2029 underlined once again."

[@Karlo_Kolumna, @cfbayern, @altobelli13]Image
• How present were the calls from other clubs for Kompany? His former club Manchester City is watching him very closely…

Eberl: "We see Vincent Kompany working every day – and seeing him up close is even more impressive than watching from the outside. When a coach is successful at FC Bayern, he is naturally also interesting to other clubs that are financially very powerful. But Vinnie senses that something is being built here, and he wants to be a part of it and help shape it. Furthermore, we will stand together if there's ever a rough patch. He is a perfect fit for FC Bayern"Image
• Can you describe Kompany's greatest strength in one sentence?

Eberl: "His clarity about how he wants to play football, combined with the empathy he shows in treating people."

Aleksandar Pavlović in interview with @focusonline & @ransport

• You're now considered a big role model at the Bayern Campus, showing how the path to the first team can be successful. Does that make you proud?

Pavlović: "Very, very proud. When the young players can look up to you, it also gives you a bit of a sense of validation. I always admired the first team players myself. So, of course, it's something special when you know you can motivate others"Image
• How connected do you still feel to the Campus and the young players?

Pavlović: "I try to go to the games at the Campus as often as possible and support them. When a few of the boys train with us now and then, I'm happy to give them tips and chat with them. I remember from my own experience how good that feels."
Pavlović on his current form: "I'm in great spirits and it's simply fun to play with the guys. Whether at Bayern or here with the national team. I try to do my part to ensure our success. And yes, that's working very well" Image

Lennart Karl on being called up for the U21 for the first time: "The coach told me that I earned my call-up for the upcoming U21 international matches based on my performances at FC Bayern. It means a lot to me to wear the eagle on my chest. I'm representing the country, which is why I'm giving it my all here, just like at my club. It's cool to play with other teammates who come to the national team from top clubs all over Germany and abroad" [dfb]Image
Karl: "I feel very welcome here, as I already know a few of the guys well – Tom Bischof, Noel Aseko, and Arijon Ibrahimović, for example. The situation is similar to what I was in at my club. I also made the jump to the first team a bit earlier at Bayern. So everything fits perfectly. I want to settle in well with the team. I want to show my strengths and work on my weaknesses. My goal is to get plenty of playing time, which I'll have to earn. Even as a younger player, I expect myself to start games"
• If you had to describe the player Lennart Karl, what would that sound like?

Karl: "I'd say I have a lot of speed and a quick burst of acceleration. Most of my opponents already know that I also like to cut inside. Somehow, I still manage to get past them sometimes (laughs). Another strength of mine is that I'm not afraid of my opponents – no matter how old they are. Of course, I respect all my opponents, but I always try to play my football. That's the best way to showcase your qualities. I still need to work on my first touch with my right foot; that's what I need to focus on."Image

Dayot Upamecano on his future in @lequipe interview

• Didier Deschamps said he wanted the future of his players clarified before the World Cup. Will that be your case too?

Upamecano: "I hope so. My agent is taking care of that. We'll make the right decision. I'm well advised. I'm focused on this season and my goals with the club and the national team. I'm not thinking about that [the future]"

• Vincent Kompany recently said that you're happy at Bayern. Should he be optimistic about you extending your contract?

Upamecano: "I've always said I feel comfortable at Bayern. I have a great coach. I get on well with my teammates"

• Since Tuesday's game, PSG fans want to see you wearing their shirt. What are your thoughts on that?

Upamecano: "I'm calm with that [laughs]. I'm under contract at Bayern. I have goals. I'm very grateful if there are clubs interested in me"Image
Upamecano on how Vincent Kompany helped him in his game: "He really helped me with my positioning, body positioning, how to approach the long balls, and when. We got straight to work from day one. There are very precise body positions to respect. I think I did that well against Paris. We do a lot of video analysis; some sessions last 30-40 minutes. We've become a team, a force."Image
• What instructions did Kompany give you against PSG?

Upamecano: "I wasn't starting from scratch; I watch Paris a lot. We knew how high-level a team they were, how they take risks: Pacho, Marquinhos, they press high. The coach insisted that we shouldn't be afraid, that we should go after them. Before the match, he even told me: "If necessary, you'll press the goalkeeper."

Christoph Freund in interview with @Plettigoal for @SkySportDE

• Do you think it's possible for FC Bayern to follow in Leverkusen's footsteps and remain unbeaten in the Bundesliga this season?

Freund: "It's far too early to talk about that. We've had a fantastic start, we're in really good form, but the season is long and anything can happen. It would be presumptuous to look that far ahead now. We've laid a great foundation, but now we're moving forward and taking it one game at a time. Anything can happen in any single match. That's why it's important that we prepare really well. The team will do that, will be well-prepared by the coach, and every game has its own unique story."Image
Freund on Vincent Kompany: "It's simply a huge pleasure to work with such a coach and such a person. He's a fantastic character, a wonderful person. It's always a joy to talk to him, to discuss things with him, and to listen to him. He's an intelligent man who puts a lot of thought into football, and into life in general, so it's simply wonderful that he's with us. He truly is an exceptional coach for FC Bayern."
• Are you truly convinced, from the bottom of your heart, that he [Kompany] can define an era?

Freund: "I am absolutely convinced that he is the perfect coach for FC Bayern Munich. We know that in football, you can't plan for things at 100%. But I would be very happy if he stays at Bayern for a very long time. He has all the necessary qualifications for that"Image
