Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany has described his side's upcoming Club World Cup quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain as the "perfect storm," pointing to both teams' bold and high-intensity playing styles.
Speaking at a press conference on Friday, the Belgian coach said he was relishing the encounter between the German and French champions, who are both known for their aggressive pressing, ball dominance, and commitment to attacking football.
"You have two sides that use the ball exceptionally well in any situation-whether it's against deep defences or high-pressing teams," said Kompany. "It creates a kind of thunderstorm. It's the perfect storm. Matches like this are always special-I'd pay to watch it."
Saturday's clash will be held at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, where the roof ensures no real storms will interfere, though Kompany believes the action on the pitch will be electrifying enough.
"As a neutral, you'd want to see this one. Both teams have quite extreme principles, and that's what makes these games exciting," he added.
