Watching PSG-Bayern Thriller From Stands ‘No Fun’ for Suspended Coach Kompany

Aaron Danks directed Bayern from the touchline as Vincent Kompany watched a 5-4 Champions League first leg from the stands.

  • Vincent Kompany watched Bayern Munich's 5-4 Champions League semifinal loss to Paris Saint-Germain from the stands on Tuesday, serving a one-game suspension while assistant Aaron Danks managed the team on the touchline.
  • Barred from "the vicinity of the field of play or the team bench" by UEFA rules for accumulating three yellow cards, Kompany was confined to the media seats while Danks took charge for the first time since his 2022 Aston Villa interim role.
  • "I can't take decisions 80 meters away," Kompany told Prime Video, though he appreciated how his players responded after Bayern fell 5-2 behind during the thrilling encounter.
  • Harry Kane and Michael Olise scored for Bayern, while Joao Neves and Ousmane Dembele helped PSG establish a 3-2 halftime lead; Dayot Upamecano and Luis Diaz later netted to bring Bayern within one goal.
  • Kompany returns to the technical area next Wednesday for the second leg, telling Prime Video: "There was such fire against Madrid. We need no less than that, we need even more, and that's all I can ask for.
