LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - MARCH 11: Vitinha #17 of Paris Saint-Germain reacts after his injury during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Round of 16 Second Leg match between Liverpool FC and Paris Saint-Germain at Anfield on March 11, 2025 in Liverpool, England.

However, Kompany also has the benefit of having a scouting staff and some inside sources, which might give him added insight on certain stories — like the one involving Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Vitinha and the extent that he is hurt at the moment. The Portuguese international is suffering through inflammation in his heel. When asked if he was aware of the developing story or if he believed that it might be a “bluff”, Kompany has some fun with his response. “Of course I got the information, but I’ll only answer this question in three days, not now,” Kompany said (as captured by @iMiaSanMia). Surely, if Kompany does truly know something, the last group he would share the info with is the assembled press corps at a Bayern Munich press conference. *If you are looking for more Bayern Munich and German national team coverage, check out the latest episodes of Bavarian Podcast Works, which you can get on , , , or any leading podcast distributor…*
