Kompany hails Bayern's 7-0 rout of Union Berlin

"Of course, we are very pleased with this excellent win. Now the fans will head off to Oktoberfest, and this is a great present for them. Today you could see how hard the boys fought for every ball. Of course, Michael Olise scores goals like that, but he has also worked very, very hard in training on finishing off attacks. Even top players need something more than just talent — hard work lies behind it," Kompany said.

Olise scored a hat-trick and Harry Kane added two, with Jamal Musiala and Ismael Sabiri also on the scoresheet. The result took Bayern to 10 points from four matches and top of the Bundesliga table.

Kompany was also asked what impresses him most about Olise. "The whole package. Not just how he plays, but his character too. I don't want to be a 'fan' of my players — for me what matters is what kind of people they are. Olise is a complete package, and it's easy to work with players like that. He has been playing at this level for two-and-a-half years now, and he is definitely on the right path," Kompany said at a press conference.

Musiala, on the books since December 2020, also found the net in the rout.

Kane's brace in the same match took him to 101 Bundesliga goals in just 98 appearances, the fastest anyone has reached the mark, beating Dieter Müller's 1977 record by 30 games. Bayern have now scored heavily in successive weeks, having also beaten Elversberg and thrashed Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League this month.
