What happened
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany told reporters he is sleeping fine ahead of his side's Champions League semifinal tie. 'I'll have no difficulty to find sleep,' Kompany said, adding, 'I don't even feel the pressure of the game so far. I do my work and sleep without issue.' The remarks were relayed by Fabrizio Romano on X.
Why it matters
The comments land as Kompany prepares Bayern for one of the biggest knockout ties of his managerial career, with the club leaning on his composure to steady a young dressing room. A confident public posture from the manager matters in a two-legged tie where momentum and mentality often decide thin margins. It also fits the pattern Kompany set earlier in the week, when he framed the semifinal as a memorable moment rather than a burden.
What to watch
Watch how Bayern come out tactically in the next leg and whether Kompany's calm tone translates into a front-foot approach. Team news, especially around fitness and selection at the back, will be the next tell.
