Attributed to original sourceKompany ( Bayern coach) : "I'm very happy with the win. Michael Olise and Harry Kane trained three times with us and were able to play 90 minutes. Nene [Brown] and Saibari will give us a big extra this season. We still have Lenny [Karl], Jamal [Musiala] and Serge Gnabry to come back.
"Regardless of the result today, it was a statement of energy, fighting for every ball, every situation. Some people maybe think we'll have a drop because we won everything last year. But that won't be the case, we won't rest and will try to win everything"

What happened
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany praised his team's performance in winning the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup against Borussia Dortmund, calling it 'a statement.' The result gives Kompany an early-season trophy in his tenure at Bayern and reinforces the club's domestic dominance. New signing Jonathan Tah featured in the match, with reaction quotes from both clubs following the final.
Chance analysis
An early-season trophy is never decisive, but the way Bayern Munich claimed the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup — and how Kompany framed it — offers a useful first reading of where this squad stands. Kompany's public messaging, leaning on the language of 'statement,' signals a coach trying to install belief and standards from day one, while the integration of Jonathan Tah into a winning performance hints at the defensive structure he wants to build. For Dortmund, falling short in the season's first piece of silverware is a familiar early stumble, but the Supercup has rarely been predictive of where the Bundesliga title ends up.
Bayern Munich gain early-season momentum and confidence under Kompany, while Dortmund receive a minor psychological setback ahead of the Bundesliga opener.
