Vincent Kompany savours Bayern victory but eyes more goals

Vincent Kompany savours Bayern victory but eyes more goals

The victory leaves Bayern 11 points clear at the top of the Bundesliga with just ten matchdays remaining, effectively securing their 35th league title.

Captain Joshua Kimmich led the celebrations, congratulating his team after the full-time whistle on Saturday. Bayern players joined a section of travelling supporters in the stands, but Kompany stayed only briefly.

"I wanted to briefly experience what the players feel in moments like this," Kompany told Sky Germany. "It's just a moment for me too. But then I quickly left again. Dortmund fought hard and tried to take their chance tonight. Overall, this was a great advert for the Bundesliga."

Despite the title race being all but decided, Kompany says Bayern's focus remains on scoring and performing well in every match. "We've scored 88 goals this season. Why should we stop now? I just want to enjoy these last few months in the Bundesliga," he added.

Bayern face Borussia Monchengladbach at the Allianz Arena on 6 March before starting their Champions League Round of 16 tie away at Atalanta on 10 March. The team will then travel to Bayer Leverkusen on 14 March and return home for the second leg against Atalanta on 18 March. Bayern will wrap up March with a home clash against Union Berlin on 21 March.

Kompany's side now have the chance to continue their high-scoring campaign while preparing for a Champions League challenge, blending celebration with ambition as the season nears its final stretch.
