Bayern Munich boss remains wary of Real Madrid Current situation doesnt reflect their true potentialReal Madrid and Bayern Munich face off tomorrow in a high-stakes UEFA Champions League match at the Allianz Arena.With Real Madrid losing 1-2 to the Bavarians in the first leg of their quarter-final tie, Alvaro Arbeloa & co. have a mountain to climb on Wednesday night.Despite there being confidence of mounting a comeback within the locker room, their recent performances and results raise concerns.After all, Real Madrid have failed to win any of their last three matches in all competitions, losing two and drawing one. Vincent Kompany waryHowever, Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany remains wary of Real Madrid, irrespective of their current form, as he firmly believes that their recent form does not reflect their true quality.I always emphasize that we have a lot of respect for them. I said it at the Bernabu and I stand by it, said Kompany in his pre-match press conference.Were ready for the best version of Real Madrid, and their current situation certainly doesnt reflect their true potential. Theyre one of the best teams in the world, thats a fact, he added.However, the Belgian manager downplayed Real Madrids history of comebacks in the Champions League, stating:But the history of Barcelona, Liverpool, Atltico, PSG, Arsenal if you look at it, everyone has stories to tell about their past performances. We lost to them recently. But Im focused on what we can do to beat them tomorrow. I dont dwell on anything else, on the past. I believe we can win, and then you can write whatever you want.On whether he expects tomorrows match to be similar to the first leg at the Santiago Bernabeu, Kompany explained: I think the first leg was a good result, and thats all there is to it. Im not thinking about whether we let them off the hook or whether Neuer was the best player. Its a result that allows us to play tomorrow, at home, with the intention of winning. And thats all were focused on. We have a slight advantage, but nothing more. Its going to be a difficult match; nothing is decided yet. I feel we can improve for tomorrow.Bayern Munich have an advantage over Real Madrid.

Its true they improved in the second half; those 45 minutes might give them confidence. But in the first half, we had a very good feeling, and I think we can still give even more. Winning at the Bernabeu gives you that confidence, but now you have to prove it at the Allianz Arena. That you can play even better. And with their quality, their speed they can be very dangerous. But I think we have to focus on ourselves. On how we can find solutions.Meanwhile, Kompany also confirmed that rising superstar Jamal Musiala is fit to start and Serge Gnabry, too, will be available for the game.Everything is working very well. Its difficult to explain all the details. For example, what we see every day, what we talk about with him every day but the direction is right. I wont say anything about tomorrow, he said on Musiala.Regarding Gnabry, Kompany added: Yes, he is. Weve managed to get him fit to play. He had a break against St. Pauli. And its a difficult decision, of course. But everyone will be available for tomorrow.The Belgian was also full of praise for Michael Olise, who was Bayerns top performer at the Bernabeu last week, saying: Were all seeing it hes playing at an incredibly high level. Im sure hell be one of the best someday; but for now, hes on the right track. At an incredible level. Among the very best. But I know what might happen if I say hes one of the best now So lets talk about his performance, the performance hes had over the last 18 months. Lets hope he keeps it up.Talking about how the atmosphere will be at the Allianz Arena tomorrow, the Bayern Munich manager remarked: Ive played here as an opponent and I know what this stadium can do. And my wish is that we have all the fans behind us tomorrow. Because they give us the support we need.On what will be the most important decisive factor in the game tomorrow, Kompany explained: This is a difficult question, because there are so many things We can talk about individual qualities, the team as a whole, intensity, commitment, resilience, even a referee can make a decision, which I dont expect. Every detail can be important. But for us, the most important thing is that we are physically and mentally prepared. Weve trained well and were excited for tomorrow, of course.Source: AS

Luke Littler is having a week he'd probably rather forget, with the darts world number one finding himself at the centre of a storm following his fiery encounter with Gian van Veen at the Premier League in Manchester.The 19-year-old has faced a wave of criticism from fans after defending his behaviour during the heated quarter-final clash.Van Veen was clearly irritated when he spotted Littler gesturing towards the crowd after missing a match dart in their tense 6-5 encounter.What followed was a frosty handshake, with Littler then appearing to mime crying and reportedly calling his opponent a "crybaby."Littler has since offered his side of the story, insisting his fist pump and gestures were aimed at his girlfriend Faith and her father rather than his Dutch rival."I did not do it to him. I did it to Faith and her dad, the whole crowd," he told Online Darts, adding that Van Veen "still has a dart in hand" and should have focused on the board instead of staring back at him.Fans weren't buying it, though."The complete lack of self awareness is astounding. Narcissism at its peak," wrote one critic.Another added: "Terrible, could just apologise and say he was wrong. Everyone would respect that. Just lying and taking zero accountability is not a great look."To make matters worse for the teenage sensation, rival Luke Humphries couldn't resist rubbing salt in the wound after Manchester United's defeat to Leeds on Monday night.Littler is a devoted Red Devils supporter, and the world number two was quick to take to X to gloat."How we feeling lads?? Hahahahahahaha," Humphries wrote, tagging both Littler and fellow United fan Angry Ginge.Neither took the bait, though another United supporter did respond.Humphries, clearly in good spirits, replied: "You boys will be fine!! We needed it more and you will get champions league anyway."It's been a mixed bag for both players in the darts Premier League this season.Littler currently sits second in the table, trailing leader Jonny Clayton by three points, while Humphries finds himself down in seventh as the defending champion.The teenage star returns to action on Thursday night in Rotterdam when he faces Gerwyn Price.As for Leeds, their victory at Old Trafford was truly historic their first league win at the ground since 1981 after 18 attempts.The result moved Daniel Farke's side six points clear of the relegation zone with six matches remaining.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
