"HUGE MISTAKE": VINCENT KOMPANY SLAMS JOSE MOURINHO FOR ATTACKING VINíCIUS JúNIOR’S CHARACTER
Vincent Kompany hits back at Jose Mourinho! Discover why the Bayern boss thinks Mourinho’s Eusébio comments are a "huge mistake."
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany didn’t hold back after hearing Jose Mourinho’s comments about Vinicius Jr and the alleged racist abuse the Real Madrid star faced.
Here’s what happened. On Tuesday night, Benfica and Madrid played in the Champions League play-off first leg at Estadio da Luz. Vinicius Jr put Madrid ahead in the 50th minute, then, right after scoring, he went straight to the referee, Francois Letexier, to report racist abuse. Vinicius claimed Benfica’s Gianluca Prestianni, just 20 years old, targeted him. Prestianni quickly denied it, putting out a statement saying he didn’t say anything racist.
UEFA has already stepped in, appointing an ethics and disciplinary inspector to investigate. That process might take about three weeks, according to Sky Sports.
Then Mourinho weighed in. After the match, he suggested Vinicius brought on the tension himself with his goal celebration. He even dragged in Benfica legend Eusebio’s name when talking about racism. Here’s what Mourinho said: “I told him, when you score a goal like that, just celebrate and walk back. When he started talking about racism, I told him the biggest person in this club’s history was Black. This club is the last thing that is racist. If he thought something happened, that’s in his mind. Vinicius and Prestianni told me different things, but I don’t believe in either side. I want to be independent.”
Kompany was having none of it. He called out Mourinho for trying to discredit Vinicius and using Eusebio’s legacy as a shield.
“You have Mourinho, someone in a position of power, attacking Vinicius’ character over a celebration, just to dismiss what Vinicius is experiencing,” Kompany said. “And then he brings up Eusebio, as if having a Black club legend means Benfica can’t have a problem with racism. Does he actually know what Black players went through in the ‘60s? Was he there, travelling with Eusebio to see the abuse he faced all over Europe?”
Kompany got personal. “My dad’s a Black man from the ‘60s, too. Back then, the only option was to stay quiet, say nothing, and be ten times better just to get the smallest bit of respect. That was probably Eusebio’s reality. Now, Mourinho’s using his name to make a point against Vini Jr, who’s finally in a position to speak up? There are so many players across Europe, in Hungary, Bulgaria, and Serbia, who don’t have a voice if something like this happens. No one supports them.
“But Vini Jr, at least, can stand up now because others before him made it possible. He gets to protest, and that matters.”
WHY LEAVE? THE REAL REASON DíAZ CHOSE BAYERN OVER STAYING AT THE PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPIONS
Luis Díaz is thriving at Bayern! Discover the stats behind his 19 goals and why he called leaving Liverpool an "easy decision."
When Luis Díaz left Liverpool for Bayern Munich right after lifting the Premier League trophy with Arne Slot’s team, plenty of people questioned if he was really worth the €70 million Bayern paid. That’s a lot of money, even for a club like Bayern.
Back when Liverpool snatched him from FC Porto in January 2022, Jürgen Klopp paid 40 million euros for him. Díaz didn’t disappoint. Across 148 games, he racked up 41 goals and 23 assists. He helped bring home a Premier League title, two EFL Cups, a Community Shield, and the FA Cup. No wonder his price shot up.
Now, look at him in Germany. Díaz has hit the ground running in his first Bundesliga season. He’s already got 19 goals and 15 assists in just 32 matches, and his connection up front with Harry Kane and Michael Olise has turned Bayern’s attack into a real threat.
In a recent chat with Sky Sport, Díaz looked back on his decision to swap Liverpool for Bayern last summer. For him, it was an easy call. “When FC Bayern approached me, I knew from the very first moment that I wanted to make this move. It filled me with pride because I’d known the club for a long time and knew what to expect there. It was a good decision – a decision for an incredible team. And when you arrive somewhere new, you naturally want to give your best and feel comfortable where you are,” he said.
Díaz’s journey is pretty wild. From the streets of Barrancas as a kid, to breaking through at Porto, to lighting up the Premier League at Liverpool, he’s never struggled to adapt. It doesn't matter what country or league; he just finds a way. Watch him with the ball at his feet: he’s quick, creative, and bursting with confidence. He’s enjoying himself, and you can see it every time he plays.
“Being happy is the most important thing for a player and his family. It was exactly the right decision to come here. I knew that I would be joining an incredibly great group of footballers and a club with excellent infrastructure and a fantastic training ground. I did not doubt that. The most difficult thing for my family and me was, and still is, certainly the language… but I knew that I would fit in very well here, that I would contribute to the team’s success – just as I had done before in Liverpool. So FC Bayern placed their trust in me, and I’m trying to repay that trust on the pitch,” he said.
So far, Díaz has more than justified Bayern’s faith. He’s not slowing down, either.
THE RONALDO SHIFT: HOW HARRY KANE SURPASSED CR7’S 500-GOAL PACE IN FEWER MATCHES
Harry Kane hit 500 goals faster than Ronaldo: Discover the stats behind his chase for the 150-goal club record and Lewy's 41.
Harry Kane just hit his 500th career goal, and he did it faster than Cristiano Ronaldo ever did. Now, the Bayern Munich striker is already looking for his next record to break.
Let’s be real: Kane’s numbers are wild. At 32, he’s easily one of the deadliest strikers around. He got to 500 goals in only 743 professional games. For comparison, Ronaldo needed 753 matches to reach the same mark.
With that milestone out of the way, Kane’s got his sights set on another Ronaldo record. Right now, Ronaldo holds the record for the fastest player to reach 150 goals for a single club; he did it with Real Madrid in 149 games.
Kane’s sitting on 126 goals for Bayern Munich after 131 games. He’s just 24 goals shy of that 150 mark. If he can score those 24 goals in his next 18 appearances, he’ll beat Ronaldo’s record. For most players, that sounds pretty far-fetched. But with the way Kane’s been playing, it’s absolutely within reach.
Break it down, and he needs to score a goal every 67.5 minutes over those next 18 games. So far this season, he’s averaging a goal every 68.8 minutes for Bayern. He just needs a tiny boost to pull it off. Even if he falls just short, averaging a goal every 71.3 minutes over the next 19 games would at least tie Ronaldo’s record.
And honestly, even if Kane doesn’t break or tie it, he’s on track to be the second-fastest player ever to 150 goals for a club. That’s ahead of some serious names. Haaland hit 150 in 173 games for Man City, Ibrahimovic needed 176 at PSG, Lewandowski did it in 193 for Bayern, and Mbappe reached it in 196 for PSG.
Outscoring legends like that would be huge for Kane, and it would really underline just how brilliant he’s been since moving to Germany.
He’s not done yet, either. Kane already has 26 goals in 22 Bundesliga matches this season and could even break Lewandowski’s league record of 41 goals in a single campaign. He needs 16 more in the last 12 league games. Tough? Sure. Impossible? Not for him.
When someone asked him about chasing Lewandowski’s record, Kane said, “Anything is possible, but there’s still a long way to go. It’s an unbelievable record. I’m in a good moment right now. It’s nice to help the team. We’ll see where I am when we get to April; I’ll start to think about it by then. But right now it’s just about the next one.”
That’s Kane for you: eyes forward, always hunting the next goal.
