🎥 Kompany meets Enrique in the tunnel, their reaction is brilliant!

The absolutely crazy Champions League match (5:4) between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Bayern has sparked a wave of excitement. Quite a few are even going so far as to say it was the most entertaining match of their lives.

After the game, a special moment took place between the two coaches, Luis Enrique and Vincent Kompany, in the stadium tunnels. A brief moment, but one that says a lot about yesterday’s spectacle.

Laughing, Enrique — who in the past had sometimes liked to watch first halves from a bird’s-eye view — asked Kompany, who was suspended yesterday, whether he had enjoyed it up in the stands. The Bayern coach replied, equally amused, that he had not liked it at all.

But it is not necessarily about the words the two exchanged. Rather, it is about the shared sense of unity and joy over the spectacle they created together for the football world.

At the press conference afterward, Luis Enrique was full of praise: "That was the best match I have ever been involved in as a coach, without a doubt. I have never seen such intensity, such tempo, and such a physical level. We have to congratulate everyone," said Enrique. "We deserved to win today, we deserved a draw, and we deserved to lose. It was a fantastic match."

Bayern coach Vincent Kompany also saw the match as a case for attacking football, even if he did not enjoy his unusual perspective from the stands: "It was not the position from which I would have liked to watch the game. I told Luis Enrique I do not understand how he likes watching matches from up there. I liked the team’s mentality today. It was a game for people who love football."
