What happened: Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany ripped the officiating after his side's Champions League semifinal exit to Paris Saint-Germain. He questioned why Bayern conceded a penalty in Paris but did not get one in Munich, and argued a handball decision went against his team in the 1-1 second leg draw that sent PSG through 6-5 on aggregate.
Why it matters: The quote keeps the focus on officiating in a tie decided by one goal across two legs, and it extends the fallout from Kompany's earlier complaints after Bayern's UCL exit. For, the immediate takeaway is that Bayern are out of Europe while PSG move on to the final against Arsenal.
By the numbers: Second leg: Bayern Munich 1, Paris Saint-Germain 1 on May 6, 2026. Aggregate: PSG advanced 6-5 after winning the first leg 5-4. Scorers in the second leg: Ousmane Dembele for PSG, Harry Kane for Bayern.
What to watch: Watch for any UEFA reaction to the refereeing debate and for Bayern's internal response after the semifinal loss. PSG's next major step is the Champions League final against Arsenal on May 30.
