Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany walks out of meaningless press conference: 'Cheers!'
FC Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany saw no need to conduct a post match press conference yesterday. The Bundesliga title already having long been secured, Kompany had nothing to add after a 0-4 away win at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim on the season's final matchday. Kompany and the press officer at the PreZero Arena did show up in the press room, but showed little-no-interest in proceeding with the formality.
Kompany was brought into the room early whilst TSG head coach Christian Ilzer, the Hoffenheim front office managerial representatives, and most of the journalists weren't ready to join. The press officer made clear that he wanted to get Kompany in, out, and on his way quickly.

'We're joining to separate the press conference today so that we can all go home,' the press officer began. 'Thanks for your understanding and thanks for coming. I'll ask for the first questions for our head coach. Whoever wishes to begin can raise their hand and take the microphone.'
Kompany wasn't prepared to let it go that far.
'I'm not expecting any questions,' Kompany remarked with a snarky smirk. 'Since we just won 4-0.'
'Yes there's been a bit of a logjam [of people getting into the room],' the press officer then went on to say as no one seemed interested in raising their hands. 'Maybe we'll give it a few more seconds, or just take photos today?'
Kompany gave it all of 0.2 seconds.
'Cheers,' Kompany said raising a glass of water and getting up. 'Thanks to the lads!'

Club World Cup team guide – Bayern Munich: A powerhouse progressing under Kompany
The inaugural Club World Cup kicks off in the United States on June 14, with its 32 teams split into eight groups of four for the opening phase. As part of our guides to the sides who will feature in this summer's tournament, Seb Stafford-Bloor gives you the background on Bayern Munich. Bayern are the 34-time German national champions. Only one of those titles was won before the domestic league's current Bundesliga structure came into place in 1963. In the years since, they have won the title in 33 of the 62 league seasons contested (53 per cent), including 12 of the last 13. They are also six-time European champions and won the Club World Cup twice in its former guise as an annual event. They are on their way back. Bayern's imperial era ran from 2012 to 2023, when they won 11 straight Bundesliga titles. They also won the Champions League in 2020, but had been in decline for a few years before Bayer Leverkusen ended their domestic dominance in 2024. Last season saw them reclaim the Bundesliga, though, and make big strides in the right direction. Advertisement Their domestic success still needs context. Bayern have won more Bundesliga titles than every other German team combined. They also enjoy a significant financial advantage over even their nearest rivals; Bayern hold the country's transfer record, with the €95million (£80.1m/$108.5m at current rates) spent on English striker Harry Kane in 2023, and have completed eight of the most expensive incoming deals in German football history. It's hegemony whichever way you look at it and so European competition, not domestic, will always be the measure of how good Bayern are. They made limited progress back towards the top in the 2024-25 Champions League, with eventual finalists Inter eliminating them at the quarter-final stage, while showing they still possess too many flaws to be considered a truly elite team. First-year head coach Vincent Kompany inherited a weak defensive group full of issues he is yet to cure and the centre of his midfield lacks the muscularity and definition that the club had there under some of his predecessors. So, this is still a team between eras. Bayern are good, but they are not as outstanding as they were. Through their placement in European football governing body UEFA's four-year ranking, having got as far as the Champions League quarter-finals three times and the semis once in that time. They want the ball, and they want control. A feature of their attacking play under Kompany has been to use attackers Jamal Musiala and Kane in deeper positions, often receiving passes well inside their own half, and then deploying their respective playmaking attributes at the start of moves, rather than just at the end of them. The wide forwards, particularly Michael Olise, are especially important and provide a lot of movement and thrust in the attacking third. With influential and incendiary full-back Alphonso Davies unavailable through long-term injury, Bayern will be even more reliant on Olise at this tournament. Elsewhere, Joshua Kimmich is the heart of the midfield and will want to orchestrate the possession phases from the middle of the pitch. Leon Goretzka, who will likely start alongside him, is a more vertical, physical player who will occupy a deeper No 8 role and arrive late into the opponents' penalty box. Advertisement One of Kompany's successes has been to vastly improve his players' work without the ball. Bayern are a high-pressing team who will try to lock opponents into their own third or force them to play long to get out of it. Are they always good at doing this? No. It's a work in progress, and that could still be a weakness. Kompany, the former Manchester City captain and one of the finest central defenders of his era, was a surprise choice when he was appointed in 2024. He came to Bayern directly from a Premier League relegation with Burnley and without any major trophies on his managerial record. The now-39-year-old Belgian was seen as lacking the credentials for the role, and his arrival was met with plenty of doom prophecies. But he has exceeded expectations. The players like him, and the younger ones have enjoyed his communication style and the instructive, detailed nature of his coaching. Off the pitch, he has adapted well to the environment. Bayern are always fraught with political issues and Kompany has navigated them smartly, staying away from the public arguments and media rucks that so undermined his predecessor Thomas Tuchel. Olise was Bayern's best player last season and Kane their top scorer, but Musiala is the star. The 22-year-old is a doubt for this tournament having not played since a hamstring injury in April, but at his best he is a fabulously gifted playmaker and one of the most elusive ball-carriers in European football. He had already equalled his best goalscoring season before that injury, too, a measure of not just his form but also the evolution in his game under Kompany. Olise is one of them. He was signed from Crystal Palace of the Premier League last summer, and even though he cost €50million, a big fee in Bundesliga terms, there was a sense he was coming in as a two- or three-year project, rather than as an immediate difference-maker. As it happened, Olise was outstanding almost from the get-go. He was one of the reasons Bayern were more watchable, more subtle and ultimately more dangerous than their 2023-24 team had been. The London-born France international is right on the cusp of stardom. Advertisement Bayern fans would also point to Aleksandar Pavlovic. The 21-year-old is a deep midfielder with a lovely feel for the game. His season was disrupted by a series of minor injuries and a bout of glandular fever, but when fit and healthy he passes the ball as well as anyone at the club and seems likely to be at the heart of their team for the next decade. And he's homegrown, too. Pavlovic was born in Munich and developed by Bayern's youth academy — something that already makes him extremely popular with their supporters. There are different answers to this. Locally, Munich is a two-club city, comprising Bayern, the Reds, and 1860 Munich, the Blues. However, 1860 have been plagued by financial dysfunction during the modern era and have fallen on hard times, currently playing in the German football's third tier. As a measure of how dormant the rivalry is, the two teams have not faced each other since 2008 — a year before Thomas Muller, who will leave Bayern this summer as their record appearance-maker with 751 (so far), had even made his competitive debut. Borussia Dortmund are a rival of sorts, even though Der Klassiker, as games between the two are called, is more of a marketing construct than a reality. Dortmund, a six-hour drive from Munich, would certainly consider neighbours Schalke to be their biggest rivals, though they are in Germany's second division. Bayer Leverkusen's rise under Xabi Alonso has made them a rival, with recent seasons breeding animosity among the respective players and even some rival board members, but that is very new and likely to disappear as quickly as it appeared with Alonso now gone to manage Real Madrid and Leverkusen selling star players. Bayern and Borussia Monchengladbach had a fascinating back-and-forth in the 1970s. Advertisement It was a political rivalry in a sense. In public perception, Bayern were the established power and Gladbach the younger, free-spirited challenger. The latter's informal nickname, 'the foals', is a reference to those teams and their coltish youth. But those dynamics have been embellished and do not bear much scrutiny at all — Bayern's teams of that era scored lots of goals and were full of rebellious, counter-culture characters. The rivalry was real enough, though, and games between the two have a habit of producing strange results, even today. Bayern were formed in response to pejorative attitudes towards competitive football. The club's 11 original members had originally belonged to Manner-Turn-Verein 1878 (MTV) and were the footballing department of what was principally a gymnastics club. At the beginning of the 20th century, organised gymnastics — 'turnen' — was wildly popular in Germany, and seen as a way of fostering collective, nationalistic spirit. By contrast, football was a game imported from England which bred competitive instincts many saw as vulgar. So, in February 1900, when MTV's football players moved to start playing competitive games and indicated their desire to join the local football association, their fellow members were aghast. In response to an impasse over the issue at a club meeting, the footballers walked out, went down the street to a nearby restaurant, and founded Football-Club Bayern Munchen. You can still visit the place in the city where it happened. The restaurant itself is long gone and most of the area looks very different, having been rebuilt after the bombing during the Second World War, but there's an obelisk marking the spot just a few yards from Odeonsplatz square, upon which the club's founding document is mounted. They are still majority-owned by their members. Business-world giants Audi, Adidas and Allianz each owns an 8.33 per cent stake in Bayern's football division, but the club's fans retain voting control. Bayern are a commercial powerhouse and hardly an underdog, but in a football world of sovereign wealth funds, sports washing and troubling morality, they manage to exist as a superclub without ethical quandaries.

Liverpool submit improved €134m transfer offer for Leverkusen's Florian Wirtz
Liverpool have submitted an improved offer of €134million (£113m) to sign Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. The bid for the coveted Germany international is comprised of a €118.7m (£100m) upfront fee with a further €15.4m (£13m) in add-ons. Liverpool have no intention to bid as high as the reported €150m (£126.4m) asking price for the playmaker. Advertisement Leverkusen are not keen to allow Wirtz to approach the final year of his contract, which runs through until 2027. The Athletic reported last week that Liverpool had submitted an offer worth up to €130m (£109m) for the 22-year-old. The proposed figure was a top-end amount, comprised of a guaranteed fee and potential add-ons. Wirtz has emerged as a key target for Liverpool this summer and the playmaker is keen on a move to Anfield. The Athletic reported on May 23 that Bayern Munich, who had also targeted Wirtz, were informed he favoured a move to Liverpool. The Merseyside club later entered talks with Leverkusen to sign the attacking midfielder. Wirtz has already visited the north west of England to look for houses to live in, should the transfer proceed. Wirtz played a key role as Leverkusen secured their maiden Bundesliga title with an unbeaten domestic season in 2023-24. He registered 18 goals and 20 assists in that campaign and was named Bundesliga Player of the Season. Wirtz scored 16 goals and set up 15 in the most recent campaign, as Leverkusen recorded a second-placed finish. Since making his first-team debut for Leverkusen in the 2019-20 season, Wirtz has recorded 122 goals contributions (57G, 65A) in 197 matches. He has also earned 29 caps for Germany. Communication had already been opened between Liverpool and Leverkusen this summer after the newly-crowned Premier League champions activated wing-back Jeremie Frimpong's release clause, which is in the region of €35million (£29.6m;$39.3m). The Dutch 24-year-old agreed a five-year contract and The Athletic reported on May 17 he was set to undergo a medical. Additional reporting from Sebastian Stafford-Bloor. ()

Liverpool Locked In A Three-Way Battle For This Bayern Munich Ace: Decent Option For Slot?
In a recent report, journalist Mark Brus stated that Liverpool are locked in a three-way battle for Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae. It has been claimed that the Reds are facing competition in the form of Newcastle United and Chelsea in the race to land the South Korean talent this summer. Min-Jae's Impressive Form In German Football Min-jae enjoyed a solid campaign at the Bavarian club after he put in a string of impressive performances at the heart of their backline. The South Korea international was involved in 43 matches for Bayern last season, scoring three goals on all fronts. Advertisement The 28-year-old was a rock at the back as he made 35 tackles, 23 blocks and 37 interceptions for the Munich outfit in the Bundesliga. He was even excellent when distributing the ball from inside his half based on his pass completion rate of 92.5% in the German top tier (stats via His current contract at the German club will run out in the summer of 2028 which could make it difficult for the Reds to snap him up on the cheap this off-season. MUNICH, GERMANY – APRIL 08: Kim Min-Jae of Bayern Muenchen reacts during the UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Quarter Final First Leg match between FC Bayern München and FC Internazionale Milano at Fussball Arena Muenchen on April 08, 2025 in Munich, Germany. (Photo by) Is Min-Jae A Decent Option For Liverpool Boss Arne Slot? Min-jae is a solid tackler of the ball and can sense danger well to secure the ball back for his side on the defensive third of the field. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the offensive. Advertisement Standing at 1.90m, the South Korea international can use his strong frame to win his fair share of aerial duels inside his half. He is also proficient at playing his way out from the back but might need some time to adjust to life in the Premier League if the Reds manage to get a deal done for him this summer. We can expect Min-jae to add more bite and steel to Liverpool boss Arne Slot's defence. He is more than capable of fighting for a regular first-team spot at Anfield next season. At 28, Min-jae is playing in his prime which makes him a decent option for the Merseyside club to pursue in this summer transfer window. He might even help the Reds challenge for a lot of major honours over the next few years.
