‘Rarely been so angry': Bayern boss Kompany seethes over Musiala injury
The 22-year-old Germany international was injured in added time before the break after a collision in PSG's penalty area.
As Musiala challenged defender William Pacho for the ball, goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma inadvertently rolled over Musiala's left ankle, twisting it at an alarming angle and leaving him lying in agony on the pitch.
'I've rarely been so angry at halftime, not against my players. There's many things in life that are important, much more important than this. But in the end, for these guys it's their life,' Kompany told reporters after the 2-0 loss.
Wishing him a speedy recovery ❤️🩹 pic.twitter.com/pOmaM4lGmq

'And someone like Jamal lives for this and he came back from a setback. And then it happens in the way it happens and you feel powerless...
'When I'm sat here next to you now, the thing that gets my blood still boiling at the moment is not the result. I understand this is football. But it's the fact that it happened to someone who enjoys the game so much is also very important for us.'
Bayern's medical team rushed on to the pitch as Donnarumma, visibly shaken, dropped to the ground with his hands on his head in disbelief at the severity of the injury.
Players from both teams formed a circle around Musiala who was carried off the field on a stretcher. The German daily Bild reported he could be sidelined for up to five months.
Bayern goalkeeper and captain Manuel Neuer said Donnarumma's dive was 'risky' and that he had spoken to his Italian counterpart after the incident.
'You just accept that your opponent might get injured. It could even be a teammate,' he added.
'So I went over to him and said: 'Don't you want — because it was half time anyway — don't you want to go over there? Jamal is lying there, he'll probably stay in the hospital, he has a serious injury, and I think it's only right to go over there out of respect and wish him well and just say a little sorry.'
'After that, he went over to Jamal... Fairness is always important, and I would have reacted differently.'
After the match, Donnarumma posted on Instagram: 'All my prayers and well wishes are with you Jamal.'

Sabalenka survives Siegemund spell to reach Wimbledon semi against Anisimova
Aryna Sabalenka was dragged into a bygone era on Tuesday and tormented for almost three hours on Wimbledon's Centre Court before finally imposing her 21st-century power game to beat mesmeric Laura Siegemund for a place in the semifinals. The Belarusian needed all her powers of ball bludgeoning and belief to emerge from a befuddling battle, somehow the victor, 4-6 6-2 6-4. For much of the spellbinding contest it looked as though the world number one would find no answers to Siegemund's sorcery as the 37-year-old German veteran chipped, chopped and drop-shotted the world's best player to pieces, leaving the top seed's power game neutered on the turf. Ranked a lowly 104 in the world, Siegemund drew on the game of a gentler age to bring low the mighty Belarusian, casting spells of slice and sleight with vintage flair. But slowly, if not exactly surely, the 10 years younger and seemingly stronger Sabalenka managed to wrestle back the upper hand, and now plays American 13th seed Amanda Anisimova, who beat Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, for a place in Saturday's final.

Sinner cancels Wimbledon practice hit after elbow injury
World number one Jannik Sinner cancelled a practice session on Tuesday, fuelling fears his bid for a first Wimbledon title could be undone by an elbow injury. The Italian suffered the problem after falling in the first game of his fourth-round clash with Grigor Dimitrov on Monday. Sinner trailed the Bulgarian by two sets when Dimitrov was dramatically forced to retire after injuring a pectoral muscle. However, the US and Australian Open champion's reprieve could be short-lived. Sinner said after the match he would have an MRI scan on his elbow to assess the damage. "It was quite an unfortunate fall," said Sinner. "I could feel it. So let's see. Tomorrow (Tuesday) we are going to check to see how it is, and then we see." The three-time Grand Slam champion is due to play American 10th seed Ben Shelton in the second match on Court One on Wednesday.
