'Rarely been so angry': Bayern's Kompany seethes after Musiala injury
Musiala was taken off on a stretcher and replaced by Serge Gnabry for the second half.
"I've rarely been so angry at half-time, not against my players," Kompany told reporters.
"There are many things in life that are much more important than this, but in the end, for these guys, it's their life.
"Someone like Jamal lives for this and he (recently) came back from a setback. And then it happens in the way it happens and you feel powerless."
Kompany said he wanted his Bayern side to try and find motivation in the injury against the European champions.
"You try and get strength out of it because you want to do it for Jamal," explained the Belgian coach.
"When I'm sat here next to you now, the thing that gets my blood still boiling at the moment, it's not the result.
"I understand this is football, but it's the fact that it happened to someone that, for one, enjoys the game so much, but also is very important for us.
"It didn't look good... it looks like an ankle injury of some type, but I'm not going to make a diagnosis here."
PSG players also showed support for the youngster -- one of football's most promising young talents.
"A shout-out to Jamal Musiala, who suffered a serious injury, it's something you do not want to see on the field," PSG defender Marquinhos told DAZN.
"It's important we talk about Jamal Musiala," said Achraf Hakimi.
"I want to give my support to him. We hope to see him back on the pitch soon."

Norway reach Euro 2025 quarter-finals as Swiss down eliminated Iceland
Caroline Graham Hansen snatched the three points in Sion with a mishit cross six minutes before the end to give Norway a perfect six points from their two Group A fixtures. And hosts Switzerland beating Iceland ensured that Gemma Grainger's Norway have won the group with a match to spare, setting up a last-eight clash with the the team that finishes second in Group B. "We need to get better at some things, but the best thing is that we will keep getting better. If you can get better while winning games, that's the ideal formula," said Grainger. Norway looked set to dominate when Eva Nystrom diverted Hansen's low cross into her own net, and they were unlucky not be two ahead midway through the first half after striking the woodwork twice in the space of a minute. First, Ingrid Engen nodded Vilde Boe Risa's probing cross onto the post in the 24th minute. Then, Finland goalkeeper Anna Koivunen tipped an inswinging corner onto the upright. Koivunen pulled off two more superb stops four minutes later, tipping away Hansen's low drive before charging out to deny Ada Hegerberg just as it looked like the former Ballon d'Or winner was certain to net from close range. Koivunen's goalkeeping heroics were rewarded in the 32nd minute when Oona Sevenius kept her head on the edge of the penalty box to guide home a superb leveller. Finland suddenly looked far more likely to take the points, with Eveliina Summanen denied a brilliant goal when Norway goalkeeper Cecilie Fiskerstrand tipped a shot onto the post. Hansen seemed to have missed her chance to win the match for Norway in the 82nd minute when she blasted over from point-blank range. She made up moments later when she skipped past two Finnish defenders, burst into the box, evaded two more players and lofted the ball in off the post. Swiss eye quarters The Swiss sit second, three points behind Norway, after Geraldine Reuteler and Alayah Pilgrim delighted a passionate home crowd at the Wankdorf Stadium. Pia Sundhage's team need to avoid defeat against Finland on Thursday to reach the knockout stage of the Euros for first time. "I'm very proud of the team because we changed at half-time, in the second half we changed the system a little bit and I think they did great," Sundhage told Swiss broadcaster RSI. "Now? let's take the next step and see how it goes." Eintracht Frankfurt forward Reuteler opened the scoring with a smart finish at the end of a fine passing move in the 76th minute, finally breaking the deadlock of a contest in which both teams struck the woodwork. And in the final minute Pilgrim put Switzerland in second place above Finland on goal difference with a wildly deflected effort from just outside the area. Defeat for Iceland left them on zero points and without any chance of reaching the next round as they have an inferior head-to-head record with both the Swiss and Finland ahead of their final fixture with Norway.

Verstappen laments 'really difficult' Silverstone fifth
The four-time world champion led in the early stages before being overhauled by the McLarens of championship leader Oscar Piastri and eventual race winner Lando Norris, dropped to 10th after a mid-race spin and then battled back to take fifth on the closing lap. "That was really tough," he said. "Yesterday (Saturday) was alright, but today was really difficult. "From the beginning we didn't have the speed. At the restart, I spun. Then I got stuck in the midfield, and then I had no more speed, which is just not good." "I did expect it to be a tricky race with this weather, but not that difficult and challenging," he added. During the race he exclaimed that "this car is just so difficult to drive", a complaint heard from most of the drivers who have been his team-mate in recent times. On Sunday, his current team-mate Yuki Tsunoda finished 15th. Red Bull team boss Christian Horner said: "The race was exciting, it always is in those conditions. For us, we took a bit of a gamble with the weather, expecting a dry race. "But I think Max did really well. He stuck with it and he got unlucky at the restart. I'm not sure what happened with Oscar, but it put Max on the wrong part of the track and then he had the spin which put him down in the order. "Once the circuit started to dry up, he managed to pick his way through the pack and it was a good recovery to P5. Not the result we were looking for." Meanwhile Lewis Hamilton found some hope for the future after his run of 12 consecutive home race podiums ended when he finished fourth for Ferrari. The seven-time world champion, who has won 15 times in all at Silverstone, was hoping his recent resurgence of form with Ferrari's revised car could enable him to finish again in the top three and for the first time with his new team. But in a chaotic rain and accident-punctuated race he was beaten to the third podium spot by Sauber's Nico Hulkenberg. "The car was unbelievably tricky to drive," said Hamilton. "I think, ultimately, I learned a lot -- there's lots to take from the day. It's only my second time driving in the wet in this car. "I can't even express how hard it is. It's not a car that likes these conditions, but having lots of data to take from this gives me a chance to sit down with the people that are designing the car for next year because there are elements of this car that can go into it. "It was the most difficult car I've driven here in these conditions – a difficult day for everybody I think, and not the result that I was hoping for." © 2025 AFP

Norris in dream land after epic home win at Silverstone
The beaming 25-year-old Briton claimed his maiden home triumph in stirring fashion to trim Piastri's lead in the drivers' world title race to eight points after the Australian was handed a 10-second penalty for driving erratically while leading behind the safety car. Piastri was understandably aggrieved at the stewards' decision and requested that McLaren instructed Norris to swap positions with him, but he was told the team would not issue any team orders. "I don't really understand it," he said of the penalty meted out after he caused Max Verstappen of Red Bull to overtake him shortly before a re-start that saw the Dutchman slide off-track and drop eight positions. "I need to look back and see it again because I don't think I did anything different or anything wrong," he said. "I mean I did what I did at the first re-start and, apparently, one needed a penalty and other didn't." Piastri's misery, after McLaren's fifth 1-2 of the season, was Norris's joy as he celebrated with his family and friends after surviving a testing afternoon of torrential rain, multiple safety car interventions and collisions in treacherous conditions. 'Incredible race' "It's beautiful," said Norris. "Everything I dreamed of, I guess. Everything I've ever wanted to achieve. Apart from a championship, I think this is as good as it gets in terms of feelings and in terms of achievement, being proud, all of it. "This is where it all started for me, I was actually watching on TV many years ago and now thankfully I've been able to have my go. "An incredible race, stressful as always, but the support from the fans -- it made the difference today so I've got to thank them for it all. "The last few laps, I was just looking into the crowd. I was just trying to take it all in, enjoy the moment, because it might never happen again. "I hope it does, but these are memories that I'll bring with me forever. An incredible achievement." The McLaren drivers congratulated each other and the team, Piastri describing his car as a rocket-ship. "With all the safety cars and everything, to win by such a big margin is impressive," he said of their 34-second lead ahead of third-placed Nico Hulkenberg of Sauber. At the midway point in this year's 24-race championship, after 12 races, Piastri leads with 234 points ahead of Norris on 226 and Verstappen on 165 while in the constructors' title race McLaren lead with 460 to Ferrari on 222 and Mercedes on 210. It was McLaren's first home triumph at Silverstone since seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton won in 2008. For Norris, it was a first home win, his fourth win of the year and the eighth of his career. For Hulkenberg, 37, and in his 16th season, finishing third delivered his long-awaited first podium in his 239th race, but also ended Hamilton's run of 12 podiums in his home event.
