Vincent Kompany has revealed a hilarious behind-the-scenes blunder from Bayern Munich's Bundesliga title celebrations, admitting he actually lost track of the championship trophy. The Belgian coach confessed that the famous 'Meisterschale' was missing at a crucial moment during the festivities. A kitchen nightmare for Kompany While Bayern are used to parading silverware, their latest Bundesliga celebration featured a moment of pure panic for Kompany. The former Manchester City captain revealed that amidst the excitement of the title win, he managed to leave the prestigious trophy at home, specifically in his kitchen. Speaking about the incident after the dust had settled on the celebrations, Kompany explained the confusion in statements carried by Bild: "We were here and suddenly the trophy was missing! Then I remembered: 'Oh, it was at our house'. It was lying in the kitchen. I didn't even remember anymore that someone had given it to me the night before and said: 'Vinnie, you bring it tomorrow.'" Rescue mission at the town hall The realisation that the most important piece of German football silverware was sitting next to a toaster came just as the team was preparing for their official reception. Fortunately for the Belgian manager, his wife Carla Higgs was able to save the day by delivering the trophy to the city centre just in time for the official ceremonies. Kompany reportedly noticed the mistake during the trip to Munichs Marienplatz. While the squad had already moved to the second floor of the Munich Town Hall to be honoured by the new Lord Mayor Dominik Krause, the trophy was still in transit. It eventually arrived at the Great Hall exactly as Bayern president Herbert Hainer was delivering his speech to the gathered guests. Emotions run high for Goretzka Despite the logistical hiccup, the mood among the players remained electric. Once the trophy was safely in their hands, the squad took to the famous Town Hall balcony to present it to the thousands of fans gathered below. The players danced and sang, with the 'Meisterschale' being passed through the ranks as they celebrated another successful domestic campaign. For Leon Goretzka, the day was particularly poignant. The midfielder, who is set to leave the club this summer, was visibly moved by the reception from the supporters. To honour his departure and his roots in Bochum, the club played Herbert Gronemeyer's famous anthem "Bochum," as the fans chanted his name in a heartfelt farewell to the long-serving star. Eyes on the DFB-Pokal final The celebrations mark a high point in Kompany's debut season, though the focus in Munich quickly shifts toward completing a domestic double. The drama of the forgotten trophy and the sabotage attempts by local rivals 1860 Munich fans did little to dampen the spirits of a team that remains hungry for more success under their young manager. Attention now turns to Berlin, where Bayern Munich will face Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal final this coming Saturday. Having safely recovered the Bundesliga trophy from his kitchen, Kompany will be hoping to add another piece of silverware to his collection and perhaps this time, he will remember to pack it for the parade.

Jalen Brunson against Donovan Mitchell was the matchup splashed across the screens to hype the Eastern Conference finals. Unfortunately for the Cleveland Cavaliers, it turned into Brunson versus James Harden in the fourth quarter of Game 1.Brunson continuously attacked the matchup to spark one of the largest postseason comebacks on record, as the New York Knicks rallied from a 22-point deficit in the fourth quarter for a 115-104 victory. A day later, the Cavaliers shrugged off concerns that one of the most accomplished offensive players in league history might be too poor of a defender to give them NBA Finals hopes. I know everybodys putting it on James, but Id say a lot of, its on the team, our team defense, coach Kenny Atkinson said Wednesday after the Cavaliers practiced at Madison Square Garden. And we were great for three quarters. Like, really, really great. So we can do it.The Cavs will try again Thursday, hoping to even the series before it shifts to their home court over the Memorial Day holiday weekend.Atkinson took as much, if not more, heat than Harden for waiting too long to use a timeout to stop New York's momentum after Brunson kept driving right at Harden as the catalyst for an 18-1 run. Kennys a great coach and we know that theyre going to come out ready to play, said the Knicks' Mike Brown, who worked with Atkinson when both were assistants to Steve Kerr in Golden State. They came to New York to get one game and its still within reach.The Cavs know they should have it already. They controlled the middle two quarters against a Knicks team that showed plenty of rust in its first game since May 10. Looking nothing like the team that won by 19.4 points per game in the previous two rounds, the Knicks finally went to an offensive scheme that forced Harden to switch onto Brunson, and the All-Star guard had four straight New York baskets during the run. Cleveland reserve guard Dennis Schroder credited Brunson more than blaming Harden. Jalen Brunson is one of the most clutch players in the NBA. Social media for that is just in a bad place, Schroder said. I think that we lost the game. Basketball is a team game. Its everybody on the bench, coaches, the guys who were on the court. At the end of the day, he made some tough shots and good credit.The Cavaliers surged late in the season after acquiring Harden from the Los Angeles Clippers. Harden is ninth in NBA history with nearly 30,000 points and also 12th in assists. The 2018 NBA MVP was playing on an MSG court Tuesday where he shares the record with Kobe Bryant for points by an opponent with 61.But he's had some sloppy performances in the postseason and Game 1 was another. Harden shot 5 for 16 overall and 1 for 8 from 3-point range, and had twice as many turnovers (6) as assists. He's bounced back before and Atkinson believes he will again.I said, Without you, were knocked out in the first round. Thats my first (opinion). My personal opinion," Atkinson said. "So, lets just stop that. Were in a great position. Youve played great. You know, sometimes micro experiences get exaggerated. So, you know, keep being yourself.The Knicks, who have won eight straight games, understand how the Cavs must be feeling, after a loss that was every bit as gut-wrenching in Game 1 of the 2025 East finals.New York led Indiana by 14 points with under three minutes remaining in regulation. The Pacers rallied to tie when Tyrese Haliburton's long jumper bounced high off the rim and fell through as time expired, then won 138-135 in overtime.
