Vincent Kompany Honors Victims: 'Now Is Not the Time for Football'
Bayern Munich's head coach, Vincent Kompany, refrained from discussing football following their 5-1 victory over RB Leipzig, choosing instead to honor the victims of a recent terrorist attack in Magdeburg.
In the aftermath of a tragic terrorist attack at a Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany, Bayern Munich secured a 5-1 win against RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. However, head coach Vincent Kompany emphasized that football was secondary in light of the recent events. Addressing the press, Kompany stated, 'It's almost impossible to talk about football right now. Our thoughts are with the people of Magdeburg. We hope for peace, not just in Germany, but worldwide.'
