Trailing 3-0 at halftime, Bayern staged an astonishing turnaround, scoring four goals in the second half to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. This grit and determination in the face of adversity is a hallmark of Kompany's teams.

Kompany's influence was evident in Bayern's response to the setback. Rather than accept the loss and focus on next week's Champions League semi-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain, the players rallied behind their coach's impassioned words and delivered a performance that typified his management style.
