What happened: Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany continued to express frustration with officiating in the wake of his side's Champions League semifinal exit to Paris Saint-Germain. Speaking publicly, Kompany said he hopes refereeing decisions will go Bayern's way more often next season. The remarks extend a line of criticism Kompany aired immediately after the second leg.

Why it matters: The comments matter because they signal Bayern's posture heading into the 2026-27 campaign after a bruising European elimination. Kompany has tied the exit, in part, to non-calls he believes went against his team, including a disputed penalty decision in Paris. His earlier post-match remarks framed the same grievance, and these new comments reinforce that the club intends to litigate officiating standards into next season.

What to watch: Watch for any UEFA response to Kompany's repeated officiating complaints and for Bayern's domestic finish over the final Bundesliga matchdays. Squad-building moves and Kompany's tone in pre-2026-27 pressers will indicate whether the officiating focus persists.
