Vincent Kompany's half-time talk was special
No, I am not one of the players or staff who know what Vincent Kompany talked to the boys during the 15-minute break. But what all Bayern fans evidently saw in the second half of the match was a testament to this takeaway.
Bayern Munich dominated possession and controlled every inch of the midfield in the second half. The team also looked more solid defensively, giving Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. very minimal margin to operate. Whether Camavinga were to be sent off, it felt like Bayern Munich were bound to score anyway.
This is not the first time Bayern has changed things around this season. Bayern had to play catch-up from half-time many times this season, such as against Dortmund in Der Klassiker, but the team's mentality and tactics always shifted for the better in the second half.
Vincent Kompany surely has a big role in the turnaround, but it also shows that this locker room has grit, teamwork and determination to be the best team in the world. There is no longer the feeling of fear when having to come from behind, but rather confidence.
Bayern will have a big task on hand replacing Kompany's motivation, with the Belgian head coach suspended for the first leg of the semifinals in Paris.
