Bayern Munich showed mental strength and absolute belief to come from behind three times before beating Real Madrid 4-3 to reach the Champions League semi-finals on Wednesday, coach Vincent Kompany said, Reuters reported.
Kompany, who was booked during the game and will miss their last-four first leg against holders Paris St Germain, said the Bavarians, who are chasing a treble of titles, had to dig deep to overcome record 15-times European champions Real 6-4 on aggregate in a classic tie.
"The boys were mentally strong today to recover from setbacks," Kompany said. "The fans helped us as well. We stayed calm and always felt that our moment would come. The boys deserved this win.
