"It could have any kind of effect on BVB, you don't know. It was a setback, but it was also a game in which Dortmund could've progressed. So, it does have an impact mentally, which could go in either direction. What we have in our control is how we approach the game."
"With Manuel Neuer it's looking good. We had thought he'd be out for longer, but he might train with us, then we'll discuss it right up until the game. It's all positive - but maybe not for tomorrow. We're discussing it with Manu, though."
Bayern Munich head coach Vincent Kompany prepares for Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park with eight points separating the teams. Dortmund suffered a shocking Champions League exit, losing 4-1 to Atalanta in Italy after winning the first leg 2-0, becoming only the second German side eliminated from a two-legged knockout tie when winning the first leg by two or more goals. Kompany acknowledges the psychological impact of Dortmund's loss could affect them either positively or negatively but focuses on Bayern's preparation. He reports the team has trained well with healthy intensity. Regarding injuries, Kompany provides positive updates on Manuel Neuer and Alphonso Davies, both progressing toward fitness, though their availability for the match remains uncertain.
