The Bayern boss made his intentions clear ahead of their high-profile clash with Paris Saint-Germain, stressing that the club’s ultimate target remains Europe’s most prestigious trophy.

In comments shared by football journalist Fabrizio Romano on X, Kompany said Bayern are determined to match the success of PSG and reclaim their place at the top of the continent.

“We’re fighting for the title that PSG won last year. They deserve every bit of praise. We want what they have. We’re hungry,” he said.

The statement reflects Bayern Munich’s traditional expectation of competing for major honours both domestically and in Europe, with the Champions League regarded as the club’s defining benchmark.

Kompany also praised winger Michael Olise, highlighting his attention to detail and professionalism ahead of the PSG encounter.

He compared Olise’s mindset to that of elite midfielders he has worked with in the past, including Kevin De Bruyne, noting a similar obsession with precision and improvement.

Since taking charge, Kompany has overseen a strong run of form, stabilising Bayern’s performances across both the Bundesliga and European competitions.

Although the club remains competitive domestically, recent seasons have fallen short of their usual Champions League dominance.
