Following Bayern Munich's 2-0 defeat to PSG in the 2025 Club World Cup quarter-finals, Bavarian coach Vincent Kompany addressed Jamal Musiala's devastating injury. The German prodigy broke his ankle after Gigio Donnarumma made a save just seconds before halftime. Kompany admitted that Musiala's injury had an emotional impact on the Bavarian team. PSG eliminated Bayern Munich after a relatively even match.
"After what happened to Musiala, the emotion was intense, because nobody liked to see that. We hope it's not too serious and that he receives the best medical care. These things happen. We have to stay calm. It was an accident, one minute before the end of the first half... We were unlucky," said an emotional Vincent Kompany. The Bavarian coach did not want to discuss the seriousness of the injury: "It was very difficult. I've never been so angry, and it wasn't directed at the players, but because it happened to him. There are many important things in life, but for these young people, football is their life. You feel helpless. What really gets me going is not the result, but what happened to Jamal. It's not looking good. If you look at the pictures, you can see he's injured." But I won't make a diagnosis." Despite Bayern's elimination, the Belgian coach remains proud of his team's performance: "We weren't rewarded for our game, not because of our football, but because that's how it is. They also made mistakes. The only thing that saddens me is that we didn't capitalize on our last two chances. The match was a close one. We could have led, even 2-0."
