Bayern Munich sealed off the Champions League group phase with a dramatic 2-1 victory away at PSV Eindhoven, with Harry Kane’s late winner sealing the result. The post-match reactions from the players reflected pride and belief in the progress the team is making under coach Vincent Kompany as they head into the knockout rounds.
Kane said seven wins from eight shows the type of team Bayern are, highlighting the group as the toughest in the competition and listing away trips to PSG and Arsenal, and a home tie against Chelsea. "We had to do it the hard way," he added, praising the entire squad for rising to the occasion.
Jonas Urbig attributed Bayern's success to their intensity without the ball, saying the key was "keeping going and engaging in every challenge, fighting for the second balls" to keep PSV under pressure. He also noted the impact of late substitutions, with fresh legs extending the match and creating space for the final decisive goal. Urbig stressed Bayern's versatility in matching technically strong teams and in winning physical battles as needed.
Taken together, the reactions depicted a performance that went beyond a late winner in the final group game, illustrating Bayern's resilience, adaptability and collective belief as they advance to the knockout rounds, carrying momentum from difficult fixtures such as Union St. Gilloises and FC Augsburg.
