You have to take it step by step to achieve big goals. I look up to Rodri [Hernandez Cascante] a bit in that respect; for me, he was one of the best for a long time. Training and playing alongside players like Joshua Kimmich, [Harry] Kane, and others every day is unique.

I expect Dortmund to put on the pressure and keep the game wide open with lots of energy - they're capable of that, they have the ability to really push. But whether that will decide the game tomorrow, I don't know. From our perspective, things are clearer: we will definitely give it our all, I can say that right now.

Marcel Desailly. You probably know him from a legend card on FIFA or something. He was my idol, a very strong defender. He won the World Cup with France. He was a good example.

The first title we won with Manchester City. We won it at the very last second. We had actually lost it in the final matchday and then (Sergio) Kun Aguero scored at the last second and we won the title. I'd say that was my favorite.

It is always entertaining to learn small personal details about figures on the touchline, and Vincent Kompany recently offered one that fans might not have expected. The Bayern Munich coach revealed that his favorite video game is Fortnite, a choice that adds a surprisingly relatable layer to his intense, detail-driven public image. Football managers are often viewed solely through tactics boards, press conferences, and matchday pressure, so hearing about a pastime like gaming humanizes the role.

Vincent Kompany has maintained consistency in his communication during his time at Bayern Munich. He has always been clear of what he expects of his players and has communicated so to the media- mantras such as "work hard and I will be happy" or "when there's hype please don't believe it, you're not that good. And when you lose a game or you have a bad performance, don't believe that you're bad, you're not that bad" come to mind immediately. This consistency is also the case with 17-year-old Lennart Karl, who Kompany has always insisted should be able to enjoy matches while other players take on the responsibility.
