Germany coach Jürgen Klopp has admitted he does not understand Bayern Munich's tactical approach under Vincent Kompany, according to several German media. Klopp, who is the national team coach, expressed his confusion during the Champions League match between Bayern and Arsenal on Wednesday evening.

Klopp said he still cannot comprehend Bayern's tactics, particularly their defensive play and the role of striker Kane, as reported by kicker and Abendzeitung München. His comments, made during the halftime break, drew strong reactions.

Vincent Kompany declined to provide an explanation. Asked about Klopp's remarks, he said he would not answer, according to TuttoMercatoWeb. Several outlets, including t-online and Blick, report that Kompany refused to respond to the question. However, 90min describes Kompany's reaction as a clear but brief response.
