Soccer-'Rarely been so angry': Bayern boss Kompany seethes over Musiala injury
The 22-year-old Germany international was injured in added time before the break following a collision in PSG's penalty area.
As Musiala challenged defender William Pacho for the ball, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma inadvertently rolled over Musiala's left ankle, twisting it at an alarming angle and leaving him lying in agony on the pitch.
"I've rarely been so angry at halftime, not against my players. There's many things in life that are important, much more important than this. But in the end, for these guys it's their life," Kompany told reporters after the 2-0 loss.
"And someone like Jamal lives for this and he came back from a setback. And then it happens in the way it happens and you feel powerless...
"When I'm sat here next to you now, the thing that gets my blood still boiling at the moment, it's not the result. I understand this is football. But it's the fact that it happened to someone who, one, enjoys the game so much but also very important for us."
Bayern's medical team rushed on to the pitch as Donnarumma, visibly shaken, dropped to the ground with his hands on his head in disbelief at the severity of the injury.
Players from both teams formed a circle around Musiala who was carried off the field on a stretcher. The German daily Bild reported he could be sidelined for up to five months.
Bayern goalkeeper and captain Manuel Neuer said Donnarumma's dive was "risky" and that he had spoken to his Italian counterpart after the incident.
"You just accept that your opponent might get injured. It could even be a teammate," he added.
"So I went over to him and said: 'Don't you want – because it was half-time anyway – don't you want to go over there? Jamal is lying there, he'll probably stay in the hospital, he has a serious injury, and I think it's only right to go over there out of respect and wish him well and just say a little sorry.'
"After that, he went over to Jamal... Fairness is always important, and I would have reacted differently."
After the match, Donnarumma posted on Instagram: "All my prayers and well wishes are with you Jamal."

Red-carded Springbok Wiese to be fully supported
South Africa coach Rassie Erasmus said on Saturday No 8 Jasper Wiese would be fully supported after being red carded in the 45-0 win over Italy which sealed a 2-0 Test series victory. HT Image Wiese was sent off by Irish referee Andrew Brace after 22 minutes for head-butting prop Danilo Fischetti. "I am unable to say it was right or wrong or how bad it was. Jasper must now handle that with our full support," Erasmus told reporters in Gqeberha with the back-rower at risk of being handed a heavy suspension. "He is so committed and passionate about the team. It would have been wonderful for him to play in this game with his brother Cobus." Lock Cobus Wiese won his first Springbok cap off the bench during the second half in the eastern coastal city. "It is sad because Jasper is not a guy that goes out there to do those kinds of things, but I do not want to say anything that can make it better or worse," Erasmus said. Brace also showed three yellow cards -- firstly to South Africa prop Wilco Louw, then Fischetti and fellow forward David Obiase. Erasmus said the dismissal of 29-year-old Wiese triggered an unusually early substitution with Ox Nche replacing fellow prop Thomas du Toit on 31 minutes. "We had seven men against eight in the scrum and we felt we needed a specialist loose-head while Thomas is more of a tight-head these days, so it was a tactical change," he said. When Wiese was sent off, record four-time Rugby World Cup winners South Africa were leading 10-0 and they scored a further five tries while not conceding against a top-tier side for first time since 2013. Erasmus said the second Test performance was an improvement on the 42-24 victory in Pretoria last weekend when South Africa struggled in the second half. "Last week we did not know a lot of the Italian players because we had not played against them. That made analyse tough. "After that game our senior players could transfer a lot of knowledge to the younger guys who played this week, and they could also point out where we thought their weaknesses were." A disappointment for Erasmus was an innovative move at the kick-off that failed as fly-half Manie Libbok deliberately kicked short to concede a scrum, at which the Springboks were penalised. "Sometimes those things work and sometimes they do not. We will not be able to do that again for a few games as people have seen it now," added the coach. It was the 17th victory in 18 Tests for South Africa over Italy. The teams meet again on November 15 in Turin. str-dl/iwd
