When asked by Sky Sports for his reaction to a “wonderful” season, Kompany replied: “Yeah, I’m happy for Harry [Kane], I’m happy for Eric Dier and the guys that have won it for the first time for the club as well. It’s been a really good experience.

"I’m happy for Burnley, I’m happy that Burnley’s getting back up, so it’s been a good year.”

When asked what the key to Bayern’s season has been, Kompany added: “Good players, good energy and a hunger to win and to be successful.

"Life is like this. It’s not because you win or lose you are much better or much worse. I think I was in a good environment with good players and we had consistency and very good habits, so I’m looking to continue and be more successful.”
