Bayern Munich coach Vincent Kompany made statements following the thrilling 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the 24th round of the German Bundesliga, at Signal Iduna Park.

The coach commented on staying on the field after the final whistle to celebrate, saying, "In terms of feeling, I rarely experience those moments. Usually, I greet the fans and head straight inside. This time, I wanted to experience what the players do, to feel what the young ones out there feel. It was a moment for me too, and that's allowed sometimes."

When asked whether he might one day celebrate in the stands with the fans, he replied with a smile: "No, no... those days are over. That's the players' right; they are the ones who should lead the celebration."

He continued: "It was a great match. We felt that Dortmund wanted to take advantage of every opportunity, and even after the 2-2 draw, they continued to press because they wanted to win badly, which makes sense. But our players did not back down; they always tried to create their own moments. It was a fantastic Bundesliga match in terms of intensity and goals, reflecting the character of both teams: an absolute will to advance and win."

Regarding the gap widening to 11 points over runner-up Dortmund, the Belgian coach emphasized: "Starting Monday, we begin anew. If we had lost today, the gap would have been five points, and you would have asked the same question. Now we have the points and continue on our path. Why stop? We must keep going with maximum energy. I look forward to the remaining two or three months."

He concluded about securing 18 points this season after being behind in the score: "Of course, I have a small role... I am the coach. But the players are the most important. This has been my mentality since I was young: sometimes it doesn't matter if we are trailing or losing. I always like to send a message of perseverance and pushing forward. We don't dwell long in negativity; instead, we immediately try to do our best. When you believe you can score goals, these moments come repeatedly."
