Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany says his blood is ‘boiling' after star player Jamal Musiala suffers horror leg injury
The 22-year-old suffered the horror injury after his leg got caught awkwardly under PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma when challenging for the ball in the first half of the quarterfinal, which the French side won 2-0.
Musiala screamed and held his ankle, while his Bayern teammates and PSG players alike turned away in shock, some with their hands on their heads in disbelief.
'I've rarely been so angry at halftime, not against my players,' Kompany told reporters after the match. 'I know there are many things in life much more important than this, but for these guys it's their life.
'Someone like Jamal lives for this. He just came back from a setback and then it happens in the way it happens. You feel powerless.
'Sat here now, the thing that gets my blood still boiling at the moment is not the result, I understand this is football. It's the fact it happened to someone that one, enjoys the game so much, but is also very important for us.'
Bayern said Musiala flew back from Orlando to Munich on Sunday, where he will undergo surgery soon.
In a social media post after the game, Donnarumma wrote: 'All my prayers and well wishes are with you Jamal.'
Musiala is widely considered one of the most exciting young talents in soccer. He has already won five Bundesliga titles, three German Cups and the Champions League since making his Bayern debut aged 17 in 2020, at the time the youngest debutant in the club's history.
In 2024, Musiala was named as the German national team's Player of the Year for the second time.
'This hits FC Bayern,' board member Max Eberl said in a statement. 'Everyone knows how immensely important Jamal is for our game and what a central role he has in our team.
'Furthermore, there's also a huge human impact and we all feel for him: Jamal has just come back from an injury and will now be out for another long period. He'll get everything he needs from us.
'We'll support him intensively, be by his side and already look forward to when he's back on the pitch.'

Roma consider summer move for Brighton midfielder
Roma Exploring Move for Brighton Midfielder Matt O'Riley Roma reignite interest in Premier League talent According to La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Roma are exploring the possibility of signing Brighton midfielder Matt O'Riley this summer. The report suggests that Roma head coach Daniele De Rossi is a long-time admirer of the Denmark international, with his interest tracing back to Gasperini's desire to sign O'Riley during his Atalanta days. Photo IMAGO Advertisement Roma are said to be 'trying to understand if there is room to start a negotiation with Brighton', who remain guarded about parting with one of their more consistent performers. The 23-year-old enjoyed a strong campaign in 2023–24 and remains under contract with the Seagulls. Brighton's stance is currently unclear, but Roma are expected to test the waters in the coming weeks. Our View – EPL Index Analysis Reports linking Matt O'Riley with a move away will cause understandable concern for Brighton supporters. At a time when the club is seeking stability and a clearer identity under new leadership, losing a composed, technically intelligent midfielder would feel like another step backward. O'Riley has grown into a reliable figure in the Brighton engine room, capable of dictating tempo and offering composure in high-pressure moments. His tactical discipline and underrated passing range have allowed others to play with freedom, which makes his potential departure particularly damaging. Advertisement Moreover, if this interest from Roma becomes formal, there is always the risk that a player's head could be turned. Trigoria is an attractive destination, especially under De Rossi, who knows how to inspire confidence in young talent. Tthe bigger question is whether Brighton can genuinely compete in keeping their top assets when foreign clubs come calling. This summer should have been about building on the club's identity, not further chipping away at it. Losing O'Riley might suggest that the cycle that brought European football to the Amex has reached an uncertain turning point.
