Bayern will not go easy on ´unique´ PSV, Kompany confirms

Despite already booking their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, Bayern Munich will not go easy in their final league phase game against PSV, Vincent Kompany said.

Bayern travel to Philips Stadion on Wednesday already assured of a top-eight finish after beating Union Saint-Gilloise last time out, and they come into the game with confidence.

Kompany’s side are the joint-highest scorers in the Champions League this term with 20 goals and also have a strong record against their opponents in the competition.

Indeed, PSV have lost more games against Bayern (six) than against any other opponent in their European competition history. Their loss percentage is also higher against the Bundesliga giants (75% – 6/8) than any other opponent they have faced on 5+ occasions in the European Cup/Champions League.

But despite their strong record versus PSV, Bayern have only won one of their seven away games against Dutch opposition in the Champions League (since 1992-93 – D3 L3) and failed to keep a clean sheet in all seven trips.

And though PSV have lost their last two Champions League games, they have produced some stunning results in the league phase, thumping both Liverpool and Napoli.

“6-2 and 4-1 against Napoli and Liverpool – those are unique results, which are surprising! But you can see the team believes in itself,” warned Kompany.

“They’re strong up front and very quick to counter-attack and get in front of goal. They also have the players to score goals.”
