Paris' "Saint-Germain" and Munich's "Bayern" clubs created a true football spectacle in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals on Tuesday.

PSG fought for victory with a score of 5:4 and now everything will be decided in a week in Munich.

"Bayern" strategist Vincent Kompany, who watched the match from the stands due to suspension, stated that he wouldn't want to watch more matches from this position.

"This was not the position from which I would like to watch the game. I told Luis Enrique that I don't understand how he sometimes does it willingly.

This match was meant for people who love football," said V. Kompany.

The Belgian also had remarks for the match referee regarding the penalty awarded to "Bayern".

"The penalty against us was very debatable. The ball first hits the body and only then bounces onto the hand," explained the "Bayern" strategist.

V. Kompany also stated that in the second leg, "Bayern" will give it their all.

"We are ready to give our all on the field. If needed, we will die on the field. We believe in our chances," said V. Kompany.
