Bayern have earned right to be confident after win at Real, Kompany says

Coach Vincent Kompany said Bayern Munich have
earned the right to be confident after the German side won 2-1 at Real Madrid
in Tuesday's (7 April) first leg of their Champions League quarter-final.
Bayern are unbeaten in their last 14 games in
all competitions as they lead the race to defend their Bundesliga title, and
have the chance to reach their second straight Champions League semi-finals
when they host Real on 15 April.
"Most important for us is to just continue
our momentum. They're going to give us a tough game, they're the type of team
who can do something special as well," Kompany told TNT Sports.
The last time Bayern beat Real was in 2017,
when they won 2-1 in Madrid to level their Champions League quarter-final
after a first-leg loss at home. Real scored twice in extra time to reach the
last four.
Bayern have not beaten Real over two legs since
the 2012 Champions League semi-finals when the German side prevailed on
penalties.
"A lot of respect for the opponent but
also a lot of confidence as well, because I feel we've earned the right to be
confident," Kompany added. "We have earned the right to be
demanding even in those games... and go after a good result."
