Champions League 2024-25: Kompany hails Mueller after Bayern Munich dismantles Shakhtar
The HinduBayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany praised his veteran striker Thomas Mueller who took advantage of a rare start this season to put the side ahead against Shakhtar Donetsk after it had gone behind early in its Champions League game on Tuesday. For us it is very important to have a good balance between experienced players and young players who still have to grow.” Mueller had started only one of Bayern’s previous five games in the competition but, with Harry Kane out injured, the 35-year-old stepped up and was in the perfect position to put Bayern in front just before halftime and begin the fightback. “I think it has always been clear that he still plays a very important role for us, even if sometimes it is not every minute in the season, it is sometimes normal,” Kompany said. “He can turn a game but we play in the Champions League, you can’t always have a totally dominant game without the opponents working out a chance.
