Despite having already reached the last 16 of the Champions League, Bayern Munich will not have an easy time in their final league match against PSV, according to Vincent Kompany.
Bayern travel to the Philips Stadium on Wednesday having already secured a place in the top eight after their previous win over Union Saint-Gilloise, and they come into the match with confidence.
Kompany’s side are the highest scorers in the Champions League this season with 20 goals and also have a strong record against their opponents in the competition.
In fact, PSV have lost more games against Bayern (six) than against any other opponent in their European competition history. Their losing percentage is also higher against the Bundesliga giants (75% – 6/8) than any other opponent they have faced more than five times in the European Cup/Champions League.
But despite their strong record against PSV, Bayern have won just one of seven away games against Dutch opponents in the Champions League (since 1992-93 – D3 L3) and failed to keep a clean sheet in all seven trips.
And although PSV have lost their last two Champions League games, they have achieved some stunning results in the competition phase, beating both Liverpool and Napoli.
“6-2 and 4-1 against Napoli and Liverpool – those are unique results, which are surprising! But you see that the team believes in itself,” Kompany warned.
“They are strong up front and are very quick to counter-attack and get in front of goal. They also have the players to score goals.”
