After a first act at the Parc des Princes which dazzled the football world (5-4 victory for PSG over Bayern), Bavarians and Parisians will now meet on Wednesday evening (9 p.m.) at the Allianz Arena for the return leg which promises to be just as spectacular. In any case, this is the prediction of Vincent Kompany, for whom facing Paris Saint-Germain is always a special moment.
Indeed, the 40-year-old Belgian coach is a big fan of the rival club, OM. He confided this in 2013 during an interview with Luis Fernandez, as RMC Sport recalled this Tuesday.
“You should know that I am a supporter of Marseille, Kompany revealed. As a child, I was seduced by the Basile Boli generation… There have been several Belgian coaches at OM (Raymond Goethals, Eric Gerets, editor’s note), there has always been a link between Belgium and Marseille. When I arrived in the national team, Daniel Van Buyten was still playing there. I was also very happy to play with him, mainly because he was a Marseille player. »
“When I say that the Belgians love OM…”
“ Kompany is a fan of OM »Michy Batshuayi, at that time a player for Olympique de Marseille, confirmed in 2015 in the columns of So Foot. “He used to come here to watch training when he was little. When I say that the Belgians love OM…”added the Belgian striker.
A great friend of Vincent Kompany, Samir Nasri had also confirmed his ex-partner at Manchester City’s affection for OM. “ I’m happy because Vincent is an OM supporter so it was important that he didn’t lose against Paris.” declared the “Little Prince” on Canal+ after Bayern Munich’s 1-0 victory over PSG last season in the league phase of the Champions League.
